Okay that was an example buddy. And it could be multiple times a week. Framed as “You’re always in the room even when I’m not so I think it’s only fair if I get some alone time as well” or both of them having designated alone time. Not everyone is able to get a single. You have to make compromises somehow
one's life not permitting them to have the room alone does not constitute some emergency where the rm needs to leave for nearly 1/5 of the day. sorry you can't afford one. i couldn't either. that's not her problem. and no, it's not a compromise. compromise is defined as "an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by ***each side*** making concessions". this is not a compromise. it is a demand for one to gain exclusive access while she loses any access
I literally said that the offer could be made for the roommate as well. Like OP has it for x hours on Mondays and Wednesdays and RM has it for y hours Tuesdays and Thursdays. Compromise is also defined as “To arrive at a settlement by making concessions.” It isn’t unreasonable for someone to want alone time and if the roommate is a decent person then they will be willing to leave for a couple hours. They are sharing a living space. They need to be able to make compromises
