My roommate's boyfriend basically lives here and I'm tired of it.
By @hankliterally · Friends
he stays over like 5-6 nights a week. he uses my stuff, eats our food, and i basically have a third roommate who doesnt pay rent. am i wrong for wanting to tell her he needs to start paying or get out?
The full story
so my roommate's bf is over ALL the time. like he has his own toothbrush here and more clothes in her closet than i have in mine. at first it was whatever, but its gotten to the point where he's here more than he's at his own place. last night i went to get some of the expensive ice cream i bought and it was gone. i asked my roommate and she was like 'oh yeah i think he finished it, sorry.' like thats it? sorry?? that was a $9 pint of ice cream. and our utility bills have been higher the last two months and when i brought it up she just shrugged. he uses my towel when his is dirty, leaves his dishes in the sink, and sits on our couch all day playing video games while i'm trying to study. i feel like i'm living with a couple. i signed up to have one roommate, not two. i want to tell her that if he's going to be here this much, he needs to contribute to rent and utilities. i feel like she's going to say i'm being unreasonable and that it's her bf so it's her business. am i cooked?

@yikesyeah — start eating his food see what happens lol
@remymaybe — Change the wifi password and when they ask for it just say 'oh yeah that'll be $50 for this month's utilities'.
@stellaok — My old roommate's gf moved her entire funko pop collection into our living room. I feel this so hard.
@kayla — Your roommate is showing a complete lack of respect for your shared space, end of story.
@owenliterally — The $9 pint of ice cream would have been my last straw.
