I was reading thru the comments and I definitely side with OP on this. It’s important to compromise for one another when you’re living together. If OP’s roommate knows that she has a 9 am class the next day, then she should be considered enough to not disturb her sleep. She can talk to her bf till 12 am or smt but it’s a little excessive when it’s like 2 am
Alone, but not lonely. If we’re both awake in the middle of the day then sure she can talk all she wants. But when it’s 2 AM and I have a 9 AM I ammm not tryna hear that. It’s proper manners in a lot of shared spaces to leave the room if you have to take a long phone call, I don’t understand why it’s controversial when it comes to being in a small dorm room.
You both pay rent therefore both have rights. She can either compromise or not and either way she’s in the right. If it’s such a big deal then move out. You’re not in charge. You’re single and can’t get laid but that don’t mean that she should stop doing things with her man to make you feel better bout urself 🤷♀️
This isn’t about feeling better about myself or being in charge. I really don’t complain at all. It’s literally just about it having empathy. I leave the room, sometimes till super late at night, so she can be alone with her boyfriend when he comes over. She can talk to her bf at any time, I’m not stopping her. It’s just when I’m asleep and it’s late at night, she can do it somewhere else. I’m not sure what me getting laid has to do with anything.
Dude, how do you not understand common fucking courtesy. Staying up till two in the morning on the phone in an environment when someone is trying to actively sleep is a dickhead move. Doesn’t matter if you pay for the room or whatever. It’s still a dickhead move. especially as OP has stated multiple times, they’ve tried to talk to their roommate about it only to get hand waved away. No compromise, no conversation, just dismissal.
Right like yes her roommate doesn’t “have to” be quiet but it’s just basic respect like if it’s literally preventing her from sleeping it’s a valid request to ask her to stop. That’s disrespectful. People are so caught up in this “I don’t owe anyone anything” culture when in fact you actually do owe people basic respect and common courtesy.
Kay cz i rlly thought i was crazy for a sec 😭 i genuinely try to be super accommodating cz she’s super popular and has a big family and lots of friends and everyone wants to be around her, and I’m quite the opposite. I’m not the most confrontational person and I don’t rlly have the energy to get mad at little stuff so i shit slide and stay quiet. But when it’s bed time it is bed time 😭 and ik i sounded aggressive and miserable in the post but I was at my limit after trying to talk to her.
Like I know it’s probably not coming from a malicious place from her nor is your response intending to me malicious, but I do think she is being kind of disrespectful. If you try to lay out all the reasons to her respectfully as to why you need her to be quiet at that time and how you want to have a respectful roommate relationship with her and you’re coming from a good place, and she’s still not getting it, then that’s just disrespectful and honestly mean
