I live in a Marine corps barracks that houses two people to a room. The entire room is only about 22x22 feet, excluding the small hallway common area. My roomate wants to have his girlfriend sleep in the room for two nights before they head down to North Carolina for leave or whatever.
Besides the local barracks and unit SOPs that forbid females to be in a male's room past 2300 or whatever (because honestly who fucking cares if it's a one off), I have some personal reservations about allowing him to do this. It isn't the first time he requested to let her stay the night, it happened a while ago and it was only one night so I reluctantly agreed. However this time is different.
A week ago he talked to me about his GF staying possibly for two or three nights and I told him straight up that I wouldn't be comfortable with more than one. I thought we came to an agreement then and there because he told me "Ok, I'll figure it out." He's extending himself pretty far financially to make this visit work out because I think they're going to get married soon. But a week later (today) he tells me his girl is coming over to stay for two nights. It's a friday and it's not a 72 or 96 so that would mean that the entire weekend I would have to accomodate having a female who I don't know in my room. Including her sleeping less than ten feet away from me.
I offered to give him money for a couple nights at this AirBNB he already rented but he keeps telling me that he doesn't want to take my money. He also told me that I wasn't taking seriously his side of the situation and that I was being a dickhead initially about not letting her stay. I told him I was well within my rights as a marine residing in a barracks with shared space rooms to outright decline his request for his GF to stay the night at all, but I was willing to compromise and let her stay a night and even give him money as a gift to cover an extra night or two at their rental AirBNB.
We ended up coming to an "agreement" where he would figure out the second night, but tonight his GF will probably stay in the room, which I told him I was fine with if it was only for a night. I also kept the offer open to pay for a couple extra nights at his rental place.
I don't think I was out of line telling him I wasn't comfortable with his plan (and even though he doesn't want to admit it, I think this was planned really poorly by him), and I think I am well within my rights to compromise and tell him what I am comfortable with and what I'm not. But you be the judge I guess.
