No that seems like a pretty reasonable thing to be uncomfortable about

she’s also being rude and sneaky, only watching tv when i’m not there and logging me out of and adding her own profiles to my streaming services (yes i had passwords idk how she got around it), and going into my cabinets for stuff.

Think the only thing you can do atp is get a new roommate. Some people just suck and don’t understand boundaries

Sounds pretty bad, but genuinely consider that it could be worse on the other side (as someone who’s dealt with bad roommates). At worst segregate some shared spaces and see how it goes. If its uni housing, moving is much more possible

i promise i tried talking to her. i offered her a shared cabinet of cleaning supplies but she still went into the other ones. i also tried talking to her again, after we exchanged “hellos” so i thought she was paying attention but she looked at me and walked into her room. i’m tired of feeling like i’m baby-proofing the apt and locking anything that’s mine in my room. but acting like this at 36yrs old, and me trying to be nice, wtf can i do now

she moved in 3wks after me and has significantly much less stuff than me so i’d hate to be the one who has to move out to a different unit but i highly doubt the leasing office would make her move in this situation if i’m the unhappy one
