Can someone explain to me why everyone has a problem with roommates having SO’s over? Like I get in a dorm or if you guys share a bedroom but aside from that you lose me. Being so genuine like am I missing the point?

Most of the time those that complain about a SO when there’s no shared bedroom the SO is either over excessively to the point they’re impacting the bills but not contributing.

I don’t have an issue if it’s only like 2-3 times a week, more than that, it’s becoming excessive. They, more than likely have a place too, so that roommate can go over there every once in a while.

Idk if people have their SO over like *all* the time, there are other places they can be. Like this is my house, and I want to be comfortable in my own home without a man coming and being all up in my space. Even if I wasn’t sharing a bedroom with my roommate. I wouldn’t be like super upset, but I would be irritated.

I share the same dorm as my roommate and it’s soooo uncomfortable and weird knowing that they can just see me. I know you mentioned that you get an instance of being in a dorm but I just have a problem with it because it’s annoying having them talking and keeping the lights on at 3am when I’m trying to sleep 💔

I mean I guess the only bill I can really see them Impacting is water cuz if they’re with their SO you’d think that electric and everything would be getting used anyways rather they’re there or not, no?

I’ve seen stories where the SO did impact other bills because they would mess with the thermostat (which I never get why people who are guests in other people’s houses touch that without at least informing the owners/tenants) or causing extra charges on the WiFi bill because they blew through the data cap (which can be a real thing depending on the plan). It can also be a behavioral thing like the roommate and SO make the person feel like a guest in their own house.
