AITA for cockblocking my older brother

Family gatherings are rarely simple, but mine turned into something straight out of a rom-com gone wrong. I went to visit my parents, expecting nothing more than some family time and maybe a good meal. Instead, I ended up accidentally stepping into the middle of a matchmaking scheme meant for my brother—and somehow became the villain in my parents’ eyes.

Wondering what Reddit thinks? Let’s take a look.

Now my parents are furious, my brother won’t talk to me, and Iris and I are still texting like nothing ever happened.

AITA for following my own path instead of playing along with my parents’ plan?
