She Won’t Move Into Her Boyfriend’s House Because His Roommates Are Filthy, And She Thinks They’re Just Taking Advantage Of Him
Several years ago, this woman’s boyfriend bought a small house, and he’s currently paying off the mortgage.
For the majority of the time that he’s owned this house, he’s allowed his friend and his friend’s partner to rent out one of the bedrooms.
The amount of rent they pay is well below the market rate and always has been since they first moved in.
She doesn’t live in her boyfriend’s house because she hasn’t yet felt comfortable with taking that step.
However, they have been discussing the idea, and both of them agree that they’re ready for her to move in with him soon.
“The problem is that his roommates are extremely untidy and dirty (they never clean up after themselves and will leave dirty dishes and pottery for days on end all over the sink,” she said.
His roommates also don’t clean up their messes after using the oven, and they don’t throw away empty toilet paper rolls in the bathroom garbage can.
Plus, they leave their stuff throughout the living room, the couch, the dining room, and the dining room table.
“There are boxes of empty rubbish to be recycled that are just in the living area, and no one seems to ever throw this out, and they don’t seem to help clean any of the shared living areas. My boyfriend has asked them a few times to clean up after themselves, but nothing has changed,” she explained.

In addition, his roommates have repeatedly asked to borrow his car, assuring him that they’ll clean it after using it.
Unfortunately, they’ve never followed through on this promise. Every time he’s let them borrow his car, they’ve completely trashed it without cleaning it.
“It seems like they take advantage of my boyfriend, and we have had many arguments over this situation,” she shared.
In her opinion, her boyfriend isn’t tough enough on his roommates, and he’s told her that he’s bothered by their behavior.
Her boyfriend claimed that his roommates are saving up for a deposit on a home, adding that they should be moving out in the near future.
She isn’t too confident about this, though, because his roommates don’t seem to know a lot about money or the housing market.
Obviously, homes are wildly pricey these days, and she noted that it could take years until his roommates had enough money to buy a house.
His roommates told her boyfriend that they’d be able to move out of his house and into their own within a year or less, which isn’t realistic.
While she would love to move in with her boyfriend and move their relationship forward, she let him know that she wouldn’t be comfortable moving into his house while his roommates are still living there since it’s clear to her that they don’t have respect for her boyfriend, his home, or her.
