Maybe I’m just salty or whatever but I need to know if my feelings are valid or not. Living in a dorm with someone who has a boyfriend when you’re single is so suffocating sometimes. Like I just want to come back to only one person not two.

This is one of the reasons my roommates and I made a rule at the start of living together(beginning of last fall) that any time someone wanted to bring anyone into the dorm(boyfriend, friend, mom, dad, whoever) that they had to text the roommate group chat first to get everyone to approve said person coming into the dorm, dunno if this idea helps you since we’re already in April, but maybe an idea for the fall??

but it's not disrespectful to have friends over as long as you don't make that agreement the only thing disrespectful about that is breaking your word.

ya its not inherently wrong to have guests over but its respectful to let the person youre living with know when thats happening duh. if they express that they dont fw it a certain person you guys have to sort that as roommates. overall roommate agreements are important

Well think of it this way, you live with 3 other girls/guys(idk what you are🫣) and you’ve had a hella long ass day and you finished your last class and all you wanna do is come home to a quiet space, get in your pajamas and be able to relax, but then you come home to find one of your roommate has like 4(loud) friends over and they’re making hella noise, that would suck no? I know it’s their space too but it’s better to communicate it first cuz if that said roommate had messaged you then you

I've had 3 other roommates before and this has happened! It just doesnt bother me because they're free to invite their friends over, and I invited my friends over whenever I wanted, and nobody complained. It worked for us. And if everybody wants to set that rule that's chill too but I find so many people expect that even if the other person just wants to do what they want when they want like they're both respectful really. It's only disrespectful if you agree and then break the agreement.

But if you live in an apartment with 3 other people you don't inherently have the right to demand quietness. That's the compromise you agreed to when you signed the lease. Unless all your roommates agree to a certain quiet hour (which i personally wouldn't) and there's no other rules they're breaking, they're allowed to make noise in their house.
