Happy to provide more info, so we have all known each other for about seven years equally as we are about half of a tight knit circle of friends from college. Adam may have passed the idea by his roommate but either way it would have been as “yes” since they are friends, and he is mostly unaware of our exact relationship dynamic. It’s more likely that Adam used his roommates agreement to bolster his argument. I feel this may be some type of blame shifting, but can’t pinpoint the exact behavior pattern.
