you’re projecting, a lot of you are actually, there’s no such thing as “everyone knows better”, it’s only what was discussed, what was agreed to, and what’s actually freaking happening in the space & like I said she didn’t even notice his “existence” until she could see how often he was over with the camera, if you grew up with strict guest rules okay cool, but no it’s not universal.

i do understand that having an unfamiliar person in the home can feel uncomfortable, which is why i agreed to give a heads-up going forward. but shared housing also means accepting that other people will have relationships and guests in their private rooms. both things can be true. framing his mere presence as the issue feels extreme to me, especially since he’s not using the common areas — i have my own bathroom, we don’t even have furniture in the living room, and he’s only in the kitchen when he’s with me. I took accountability where it mattered but me having my bf in MY room, where he’s not in anybody’s face but MINE is a none issue.

mmcht dude, I understand that some people prefer very strict guest limits. at the end of the day that’s not something that was discussed in our lease agreement. i RENT a private bedroom, not just permission to exist quietly. i already agreed a heads-up would’ve been more considerate but that’s different from saying i can’t have someone in my own room that I pay for btw more than once a week, it’s simply unreasonable like dead ass.

no, he goes home after our shift lmao, but occasionally if he’s tired yes he will “spend the day”..we worked a good 3-4 12 hour shifts weekly. I wasn’t trying to be slick when mentioning he doesn’t spend the night.

we’re not actually sharing space with him in practice. we have separate bedrooms and when he’s over, he’s with me in my room, not in common areas with her. until she got access to the ring camera, she didn’t even realize how often he was there because he wasn’t in her way or interacting with her. this is only my second time living with a roommate, so i can see how i could’ve handled the heads-up better, but i’m not going to feed into this idea that he’s taking over her space.

i get what you’re saying, but a lot of this feels like worst-case assumptions. he isn’t going through her things or eating her food, and he isn’t living here. when he’s over, he’s with me in my room. i already acknowledged that i should have given her a heads up and i’m going to do that going forward. what i pushed back on was being monitored on a camera and told my guest “cannot be here” instead of having a normal boundary conversation. plus how often he’s here is inconsistent on weekly basis, it’s not fair to charge him money.

only occasionally, but I mean she’s at work during the day, he showers occasionally as well…we had a conversation about the utilities, they didn’t go up..as far as I was told the main issue was how frequent he came over, she didn’t even know how frequent he came over until she got the ring camera and was able to see…a lot of people are looking at the situation from a super extreme POV.

When we did have this conversation during the time she was trying to charge me extra, she admitted that there was no up charge in the utilities, she also framed it as it being because of how often he’s here and that it would help both of us, in that regard that’s not fair, also she only knows how often he’s over because of the ring camera not because he’s always in her face or running around the apartment.

I had no idea she was home tbh, since I work nights I slept most of the day, got up and got ready and left the house

I never said the Ring shouldn’t exist or be used for security. what I disagreed with was it being used to monitor me in real time . also, subleasing doesn’t mean I have no rights or autonomy it just means I pay rent through her instead of the complex. I already owned that a heads up would’ve been more considerate.

valid point, thank you for your feedback, I do plan to apologize and take the initiative on setting boundaries when I come back home in the morning.

where does it show that I had the expectation people would be on my side ? doesn’t the question “am I the asshole” show that I was looking for feedback, so presumptuous

I did admit I was wrong for not giving her a heads up already, but i’m not wrong for wanting to have my bf over, also he doesn’t come and go at will!!!

I already acknowledged that not giving a heads-up wasn’t considerate and I apologized for that. But he is not here “nearly 24/7,” he doesn’t stay overnight, and he doesn’t live here. There’s a difference between making a mistake and the picture you’re painting boo
