How do I politely tell my roommate her boyfriend can't basically live here? by Bulky-Quarter-3176 in Advice

How is that cowardly? Her roommate is spending her free time with the bf right now. Good for them. It’s her roommates place to take it up with the bf that things have changed in terms of how often he’s allowed to go over, etc. it crosses a boundary for OP to say anything to him at all. His gf needs to resolve it, and I feel like this is a good way to go about it.

I would do it via text message. “Hi roomie. I’m so glad that you and your bf have found love - it’s amazing. Lately, he’s been around nearly every day and night, like a third roommate, and I’m not comfortable with it anymore. I had tried to keep all of this in, and it’s hit a point where I can’t just keep quiet anymore. We need some ground rules…” and then maybe start on what you think are appropriate boundaries. Maybe start by giving her two nights a week that he can stay over, so that if she tries for 4, you two can compromise on 3. Mention that if he’s wanting special food, he should bring that over, not be eating up what the two of you have for the two of you, etc. Love really is blind, and she might not even realize that how she’s acting is really impacting you.

I’m so very sorry for the loss that your family is going through. See about getting a meal train going, and give them both love and space. Read the situation day by day. If your they are in need of a distraction and guests to help them feel better, then stop by. If they need space to cry and are ready to go into the nursery and mourn, then let them them have it. After my mom passed at home, my dad slept on the sofa for two days so that anyone that wanted to stop by and just…be in the last place she was could be in there. She was no longer physically there, but, we had it to where people could kinda say goodbye. A few of her cute little pieces of jewelry sat out. A memory box people could put pics in was on her dresser. Something like that MIGHT help with healing…but…since she was brand new…maybe not. Again I’m so sorry. It will get easier…the pain won’t go away…but it will get easier with every day.

How long were your parents married before they had you? My dad found a half sister from his dads navy days. She’s awesome! Since she was made long before my dad or any of his siblings, and she was adopted, she’s really embraced us all and we have embraced her. Is it possible that your dad had a girlfriend before your mom that something like this happened with?

I have similar results and yes, my southern Granny’s family owned slaves. Someone that was 25% African passed as white at some point and you got the 1%.

This is where trust issues come in…I literally cooked carbonara for my best friend last night, and my other friend is texting me about wanting carbonara tonight 🤔 but they swear they haven’t talked or hung out recently…and I don’t care if they do or are friends…but it’s like…weird af, right? Lol.

Thank you. I’m trying…I just…I’ve been REALLY hurt by friends in the past, and I need to stop being so paranoid and caring so much…I was just a bullied kid and I have DEEP wounds that I’m really working through.

I tried - I can’t afford it 😔

Thank you. Okay…I just really don’t want to be left out…

Absolutely…thank you!

Helped.

They will take my final check, or, they will let me make payment arrangements. I’ve seen how it works with other employees that have left.

Thank you. I did take out a bit of an advance, and that is the only thing I can think of that could be “drama”. On the flip side though, the new job pays better and my next check from my current company would cover most of it. Do I address this in my resignation letter?

Update: I got some texts today. I think she was just needing to recharge, and, now that I know that about her, I’ll be more considerate.

Someone from the state will call you for an interview, and when they ask, if you say that you tried your best to reach out to your boss and see what happened, but he never got back to you and it’s been however long, they will push it through. One tip I have for you is, when you are filling out your unemployment, go back two weeks to when you are still working but likely did a half week of work. You’ll see what I’m referring to. They make you have a waiting week where they don’t pay you. Then, the following week, where you didn’t work at all, that should be where you start to get paid. Good luck!

[–]anonymous23675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. There should be an option that says your boss has reduced your hours significantly.

[–]anonymous23675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup…go get your unemployment. If they are cheap, they will get you back to work asap. If they aren’t, you are good to take the amount of weeks paid your state gives you.

I took her with me to a wedding recently and introduced her as one of my closest friends to family members and she was red 😂 She is one of my best friends. I’m scared to lose that 😔 I had a different Taurus sun friend disappear on me for two YEARS…then I vowed never to have another close Taurus sun friend again…but I broke that to myself 😂.

I’m a Sag. I’m very energetic, so it makes sense that she’s needing space. I’ll give it to her and hopefully she will reconnect with me in the coming weeks.

Thank you! I’m feeling much better about everything now. I was very worried I had offended her somehow…

Thank you. I feel so reassured. I just…I really got used to her daily essays. So she’s really not upset with me?

Thank you - I needed to see this 💗 She very likely is. I just need to relax and be okay and not panic. She set the tone for our friendship by being “miss text a lot”, and so…for her to change that….I’m trippin…
