I (26F) live in a two-bedroom apartment with my roommate, “Maya” (25F). We’ve lived together for about a year now, and overall it’s been fine — we split everything 50/50, and we both work full-time. The issue started a few months ago when her fiancé started staying over more… and now it’s basically every weekend.
At first, I didn’t say anything. I figured it’s normal for couples to want to spend time together. But it’s gotten to the point where he’s here from Friday night to Monday morning, like clockwork. He showers here, uses our stuff, takes up space in the fridge, and even once used my towel by mistake. He doesn’t pay rent, doesn’t contribute to bills, and frankly, I didn’t agree to have a third roommate.
Last weekend, I came home late from work on Friday and just wanted to relax. I found him sprawled on the couch watching a movie, and Maya was out with her friends. It just hit me — I don’t even feel comfortable in my own home on weekends anymore. So I finally brought it up.
I told her I think it’s time we set boundaries. That I didn’t sign up to have him here that often, and that it’s starting to feel like he lives here part-time. I said I wasn’t asking her to cut him off — just to maybe limit the visits or have him chip in if he’s going to be around that much.
She didn’t take it well. Said I was being dramatic, and that if I was “more social” maybe I wouldn’t mind. Now things are tense, and she’s acting like I’m anti-relationship or something. So, Reddit… AITA?
