How could I bevel only one edge connected to another like in the picture?

Question

Just to know, I have my crate in this state:

I have seen that the teacher bevels both edges. But How would I go if I just want to bevel the one shown in the picture. If I do this this is re result:

and this is not what I want. I need the other edge to stay untouched.

Thanks in advance!

Can you highlight what exact edge you don't want to be beveled?

Hi hhexdump ,

To me it is also not clear what exactly you want.

Do you mean something like this:

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong image as the first one. My fault. The first picture shows what edge I want to bevel. Thanks!

By the way, I discovered that moving the vertex would fix it (As Martin Bergwerf suggested), but shouldn't it be like this from the beginning?. Why is it moving the shared vertex away of the bevel?

I guess that's just how the Bevel works, it's how the tool has always worked and no one really questions it and we just go along with it. There's a couple of bevel types that might come in handy:

Hi hhexdump ,

The 'problem' is, that those two Edges are connected, so Beveling one, affects the neigbor.

There is another trick you can use, instead of moving the Vertex after the Bevel...

Sorry, this is a bit hard to explain in an Image):
