But this doesnt mean its excessive to have some sort of boundaries.
This is particularly true when it comes to things like property.
Just because someone is family doesnt mean that their partners can do whatever they want.
First and foremost, he seems to be deeply entitled.
Imagine sitting in a home your partners sibling has allowed you to use for free.
This doesnt really make any sense as the mess he made stretches across the entire home.
In short, he actively does not see this as something he is responsible for taking care of.
Perhaps in their household, that is how it goes.
But a deeper sort ofentitlementis visible when the home in question belongs to someoneelse.
Al is lazy and makes a mess.
He expects Lia to clean for him and everyone else to just not care at all.
This is quite common for entitled people, as they tend to truly believe they are just thevictim.
Researchers suggest that entitlement is closely related to some degree ofnarcissism.
That is, if he could notice the difference between the mess that is no doubt already there.
Where narcissism and entitlement diverge is the degree of autonomy one has.
Which is exactly what we see going on here.
