AITA for calling my brothers girlfriend "miss piggy" for eating our food after we told her not too?
Last year, a simple act of family unity turned into a silent battle over respect and boundaries.
When the brother moved in with his sibling and roommate, what should have been a harmonious living situation slowly morphed into tension, fueled by the relentless disregard of one person’s selfishness—a girlfriend who consumed more than just food, but the patience and goodwill of everyone around her.
Despite repeated pleas and confrontations, the situation only worsened, revealing fractures in relationships and testing the limits of tolerance.
The brother’s unwillingness to stand up and the girlfriend's dismissive att*tude left the household on the brink, forcing the other two to consider drastic measures just to protect their own space and sanity.

The original poster (OP) reached a point of extreme frustration due to the brother's girlfriend repeatedly disregarding requests to stop consuming their privately purchased food.
The conflict escalated when the OP resorted to using deeply personal insults related to the girlfriend's weight as a consequence for her actions, leading to an emotional breakdown and her refusal to visit the home.
Is the OP justified in using severe, emotionally damaging insults after repeated ignored requests regarding property boundaries, or did this aggressive escalation cross a line into unacceptable personal h***ssment?
Where should the line be drawn between protecting one's property and maintaining basic human respect?
