Her Best Friend And Roommate Invited Someone Else To Live With Them Without Asking Her, So She Really Wants To Move Out Without Telling Him That She’s Leaving
I don’t think I’ve met someone who has never had a single issue with all or one of their roommates.
It’s a relationship that requires a lot of communication and patience, and if you share a space with someone long enough, you’re bound to have at least one conflict at some point.
One woman is ready to move out after her roommate decided to invite someone else to live with them without her permission.
She’s 26-years-old and lives with her 27-year-old male best friend, who she calls W. They’ve been good friends for 10 years.
They’ve been living together for almost 2 years, and things had been going pretty well. There were occasional conflicts but no major fights. That is, until a few days ago.
Out of the blue, W brought up the idea of bringing in a third roommate to live with them.
“I gave him a clear answer of no,” she said. “I’m not comfortable with that for a couple of reasons, such as we only have one bathroom, and this other roommate would be male.”
She is currently sleeping in the smallest bedroom, and W tried to sweeten the idea of bringing in a third roommate by offering her the largest room. They dropped the conversation until he brought it up a few days later. This time, it was not a discussion.
W said that he had talked to this third roommate and that he “seemed serious,” so he was trying to figure out when he would move in.

It was no longer a matter of if they’d have a third roommate. It was a matter of when.
“We both pay bills directly down the middle, and I had just as much right to have valid input on these things,” she explained. “But he just made that decision alone.”
She eventually accepted what was to come, given that it would be nice to split the rent three ways. But when she told him that she’d take the largest bedroom, he insisted on charging her more for the rent, something he didn’t mention when he offered it to her.
Then, he said that if she stayed in the small room she was already in, her rent would remain the same as it is now, even though someone else would end up in a significantly larger room.
Sadly, this led them into a big fight. W suddenly started saying that he does everything and all the chores in the apartment while she just sits around. He then told her that life wasn’t fair and that she needed to just deal.
After the fight, she decided she would move out in the next two weeks. She doesn’t plan on telling him, but she won’t try to hide it either.
Do you think she’s justified in moving out without giving him notice?
