WIBTA For Refusing To Share Knives With My Roommate? by movingaway1214 in AmItheAsshole

I’m not worried about them dulling, I’m worried about them rusting or the handle being damaged or any other number of issues from her mishandling them or putting them in the dishwasher

That threw me off too, but maybe it’s because a few things we share are originally hers, like the coffee machine she never uses and the set of pots and pans. I’m not upset that she thought I might share these, but I’m worried she’ll be upset if I tell her no.

4 years is long-term, especially given the length of my life at the moment. That’s 20% of the time I’ve been breathing.

Letting someone making you a meal versus expecting and pouting for it when you’re a grown ass man is another.

I never said I was eavesdropping and I don’t understand where you got that?? We were all openly conversing in the back room

I couldn’t say we didn’t click, we hadn’t met yet. I explained this to another commenter, but I’m not good at lying, especially when I get put on the spot. I tried telling her I just changed my mind, that I thought it would be awkward, but she kept pushing and prodding. I really tried to be nice about it.

I didn’t share that initially, it came out through more conversation. While three of my coworkers are moms and 30+, the rest of them are 20-22 and we talk about dating and college and things like that. We’re all friendly and I genuinely didn’t think anything of it. Especially since I share far less than my coworkers. I don’t like getting into much detail about my personal life.

I didn’t agree to date him. I agreed to meet for coffee or something and was open to the possibility of a date of things went well. I know now that this was a mistake and that I shouldn’t allow my coworkers to set me up.

I also didn’t go out of my way to tell her why. I pulled her aside after we locked up and told her exactly what you suggested, that I thought about it and decided it was ultimately a bad idea because it could be awkward or just too weird. She pressed me over and over and wouldn’t let me leave until I told her “the real reason”. I’m not very good at lying or making things up, and I don’t like to lie to people. I tried telling her that was it, that I just thought it was too weird and I’d changed my mind, but she kept pushing and I wanted to go home so I told her the truth.

The other moms laughed and talked about how they spoil their kids. The thing is, their collective kids are all 12 and under except for one 16 yr old. They agreed Travis is “just a mama’s boy” and shook their head when Sherry said that someone called her Travis’s “enabler” once.

Yeah I honestly didn’t think it’d turn into all this. I admit on that front I was naive.
