My roommate has their gf over all the time but won’t let me have people over. Says he doesn’t like my friends but has his own bedroom to go to. When I try and talk to him he acts like i’m rude or stupid. I just wanna have friends over without worrying :(

I would just do it anyway but the issue is I do rely on my roommate for a lot, he’s my bro and is the one with a car so he takes me grocery shopping and shit. Also cooks. And if I piss him off he gets petty and I know won’t do that stuff anymore.

have you discussed with him why he doesnt like any of your friends? is there things that they do that is inappropriate. i would start there. if there are any things that he finds inappropriate that theyre doing i would then try and discuss that with the friends so you guys can come up with a solution for what is and isn’t appropriate for guests. my last piece of advice is to become more self reliant so that you feel you can have more freedom in the house.

i agree this def needs to be discussed more with him ask if you can have a select number of days you can have them over and try and have him see it from your perspective explain how you have nothing against his gf coming over but that he is being a bit hypocritical when he doesn’t want your friends over idk how his gf acts but i’m 10000% sure she may do things you don’t like so you could compare the two - and i’m curious when he has people over do they leave messes? does he himself do it?

Do it anyway. Why are you asking when he clearly doesn't care how you feel

He says my friends are crazy or chaotic, they’re not we just joke around and say stupid shit lol. He also says they don’t clean up, one time before a pregame we left some glasses out which I later put in the sink. Just minor shit he makes a big deal about. I agree I gotta be more self reliant lol.

the crazy and chaotic thing maybe due to them being too loud? how long do yall stay up and pregame. for the not cleaning up maybe he wanted the dishes cleaned immediately? have u guys tried just using plastic cups instead. ask him to clarify more. you should try and come up with solutions for his complaints cause at the end of the day its both of you guys place. he has no right to not let you have your friends over but your friends also have no right to make him uncomfortable.

i almost never have friends over, if i ask it’s like once a week to once every other week tbh. what really pissed me off was one time his gf said i couldn’t have ppl over and i had to be ok with it…he literally never has ppl over besides his gf lol. if he doesn’t have on campus friends idc i’m not gonna judge him, but i feel like he’s judging me for having a social life and partying. his gf does leave messes sometimes and we both tell her off but it’s annoying and another double standard.

i will admit one of my friends is pretty loud but he’s also an adult who we can tell to be quiet if he does too much. we literally only pregame for like 30 mins to an hour. he had a bad experience with alcohol last year and is uncomfortable around drinking which i entirely respect, but at the same time banning it entirely seems wild when he could just go into his room for a little bit one night out of the week. i never want to make him uncomfortable it just seems like he’s doing too much imo

if i try to come up with a solution he gets uncomfortable and cold and acts like im disrespecting his boundaries just trying to compromise. like i have to beg on my hands and knees just to allow a single friend over to drink for 30 minutes out of the 24 hours in a day u can sit in the living room and watch tv. im probably being insensitive just annoyed atm 😭

yeah bring that up!! also the gf having the audacity to say that is crazy especially because i’m assuming she doesn’t pay rent? but you do so technically you are allowed to do whatever you please i would say atp you need to confront him saying hey you get to have your gf over im having my friends over you do not control what i do i pay rent and i get that he helps you a lot but i hope you see the manipulation in that because you rely on him he knows he can do whatever he wants but keep you in li

youre not being crazy at all it seems he is being totally unreasonable. i think what youre gonna have to do is put your foot down and tell him this is my house too and i should allowed to have other people over. definitely allow him for some room to compromise and to make some rules if reasonable. always communicate with him when ppl will be over too. maybe if he doesnt wanna be around alc bring the pregame into your room or another house area. so many compromises can be done
