I (24F) live with my best friend (23F) in a two-bedroom apartment. It’s a pretty chill situation she’s my best friend, so we’ve always been comfortable living together.

We’ve got a good rhythm, and I’ve worked hard for everything I have in this place, including keeping it my own space.

A few days ago, my roommate called me up in a panic. Her boyfriend (25M), who I’ve met a couple of times, just wrecked his car, totally his fault and now he’s without a ride and needs somewhere to stay until he figures things out.

She asked if he could crash at our place for a few days. I told her flat out, no.

I don’t know him that well, and I’m not about to let someone I barely know move into my space, especially when he’s the one who messed up by wrecking his own car. I also don’t want him there for an indefinite amount of time while he "figures it out."

My roommate got really upset. She said I was being selfish, and that it’s not like he’s a stranger, it’s her boyfriend, so he’s practically family. She said I was being “overdramatic” and that I should just help out. But to me, this feels like an invasion of my space.

Now she’s mad, and she’s telling mutual friends that I’m being unreasonable. Some of the guys I know have said I should’ve just let him stay, saying “it’s the right thing to do” and “what if it was you in need?”

AITA for saying no?
