My little bro (M18) asked me (M35) if he can live in our cabin for the winter.

For context, I own a cabin about an hour outside of my city. It’s not anything fancy, but it’s not a little log cabin either. It has electricity, windows, and all of that. I’ve only used it a few times because I’ve been busy with school and work and I’m not a big outdoors person.<br>One day, my little brother (M18) and I got to talking about college. It’s obvious at this point that he’s not going to college. He’s not very studious and not interested in it. I kind of expected this. He told me about his plans for what he wanted to do after high school, and I thought they were OK, not great, but fine. He told me about his plan to live in the cabin for a few months. I’d forgotten that we owned it, and he didn’t.<br><br>He said that he was in the process of breaking up with his girlfriend and things weren’t good between them. If they lived together in a small apartment, like they were planning, the breakup would be messy.<br><br>I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. I’m about to start a new job at a new school and I feel a little burnt out. I would never thought of living at the cabin myself, but his idea really stuck with me.<br><br>So now, there are two of us considering moving into the same cabin. Naturally, I told him that I was planning on living there for a bit as well. He said that it would be great if we lived there together, which I tried to dissuade, saying that the cabin was only meant for one person, but he insisted.<br><br>I’m not sure at this point. On one hand, it would be nice to have some help with the expenses. I’m still paying off law school loans and the cabin is a lot to maintain on my own. I’m not suggesting that my brother pay that much, but at least having someone to split the bills with would be nice.<br>On the other hand, I’m not sure I want to live with my brother for months. I know it smells bad, but my brother is not the cleanest person. He also can be a little violent when he’s mad. I’m not sure how he’ll hold up to living off the grid with no running water and no neighbors when he’s upset.<br><br>So do I split the cabin with my brother or not?
