“I’m being dramatic,” she joked before saying that it’s really no fun at all for her.
Recently, she and Alice even got so frustrated that they decided to have a talk with Janet. First, they brought up how Janet and Josh could be quieter in the common areas, and she claimed that her roommate understood that.
Then, she brought up a touchier topic and revealed how she was a bit uncomfortable with how often Josh was around. She also asked Janet if her boyfriend could visit every other month instead. Or, if Josh had to visit every month, just shorten his stay to two or three days.
And at that point, Janet reportedly exploded on her and Alice. Apparently, Janet claimed that the trip would not be worth it for Josh since he takes a 45-minute flight each way.
Janet also pointed out how she and Josh had agreed to see each other every single month.
That prompted her other roommate Alice to start proposing some other compromises. For instance, Alice suggested that Janet go to visit Josh at his place sometimes. Or, the couple could get away and travel somewhere new together.
Janet totally shot down those ideas, though, and claimed that she was “too poor” to do that. Plus, Janet reportedly wanted Josh to keep visiting since he always paid for his own flights.
So, they were left brainstorming about other options– such as timing Josh’s visits for when she and Alice were away or having Josh stay at a hotel.
Despite her and Alice’s efforts, though, Janet just kept refusing all of their suggestions. This forced her and Alice to drop the conversation there, but it was clear that the drama was far from over.
In fact, right afterward, they could hear Janet slamming cupboards and doors in the kitchen– something her roommate only does when she is really angry.
So, she has felt pretty torn about the situation ever since. On the one hand, she knows that being in a long-distance relationship is difficult, and she does feel bad about trying to restrict how much time Janet spends with Josh.
