I’ve found it’s helpful to set an alone time schedule with a roommate. Like “2-6pm on Tuesdays I have the room to myself and you’re only allowed to come back for absolute emergencies” and then also offer that the same can be done for them

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
