How long do you guys think is too long for your roommate's girlfriend to be over at the apartment? It's not like we share a room or anything, but still it bugs me that she is there all the time...I'd guess she's there an average of 5-6 hours a day, not including when she spends the night, which she does about 4 or 5 nights a week. I've found that I truly hate her, without having a real reason to, other than the fact that she can be inconsiderate enough not to realize that other people live at our apartment. If she would start doing some chores around the house it might be easier to take, but since neither of my roommates are big cleaners anyway, I find myself basically cleaning after 4 people. I don't know...I just have to vent...and I just wanted to see if you guys had any stories like these with roommates and their broads. Oh, btw, did I mention how much I love the tampon wrappers littered about the bathroom floor? Real asthetic. ------------------ P.S.

I did that to my roommate in college. He never complained though. Feeling guilty, I asked him once if it were bothersome and he said no. But, I don't know if I should have believed him. A friend of mine in her first year of college shared a room with another girl in a bunk-bed setup. The roommate would have her boyfriend over a lot and would have sex in the top bunk while my friend was sleeping. After a couple of quarters, my friend just snapped one day and b****ed her roommate out. "Why didn't you say anything before?" she responded. Talking to your roommate could potentially fix the problem, or could cause some incurable bad blood. So I don't know how to advise you. Good luck? ------------------ RealGM Gafford Art Artisan Cakes
When it comes to roommates, ive always believed two's a company, three's a crowd. If she lives with mommie and daddie, then you are pretty screwed, unless you want to kick him out or find a new roomie. Talking to him is probably the best solution. If you are doing all the cleaning, then you need to be the leader and tell them to start picking up after themselves. ------------------ Im too drunk to walk ... Im driving home!

I hear ya, Prempeh. I made the mistake of rooming with one of my best friends at the time in college. His girlfriend was constantly over and they never went anywhere. I ended up hating her because she never left. I ended up not being best friends with my friend, either. I ended up moving out after the first semester. If I would have known that was going to happen, then I would have never roomed with him to begin with. They were practically living together so they should have roomed together in the first place. To top that off, she ate our food, she dirtied our apartment, they made all the noise in the world(inconsiderate; especially when I'm trying to study), and they didn't give a rat's ass about my feelings on the subject, either. They just did whatever they wanted like I wasn't even there and it was just the two of them in some pretend fantasy of theirs. I brought it up on several occassions that she never left and they always made noise during my study periods and basically didn't give a crap about how I fit in this situation. They thought I was being a complete a-hole about it. I don't think I was at all...I even tried to discuss it nicely with my roommate about working something out so I could study. He wouldn't hear it. The fallout was he is not really my friend any more and that really hurt our friendship. We grew up together, too. The crap I put up with because of that. I couldn't even get any peace and quiet. I mean...it's okay to have your girlfriend over and sleep over some nights but when she is over all of the time and never leaves...then that is when she needs to start paying rent and paying for food and doing some clean-up. The respect on their side wasn't there. They just did whatever. So, I figured out that he wasn't really my best friend or much of a friend at all after that. And that's too bad because we grew up together. Surf ------------------
I had a similar expereince as surfguy. My soph year in college I lived with a buddy of mine from HS and his ugly, fat girlfriend lived with us. I think it would be easier if she was ahottie, but I don't want an ugly, fat girl around! Honestly like others have said, say something now.
Here's the thing...I realize it could be worse, which is why I've put up with this crap since the fall...but the year's almost over and I think she'll be going back to Houston for the summer...she won't even be here at UT next year--she'll be in San Marcos at SWT. So I think I only have two weeks to go before I don't have to see her all day, every freakin day. Hopefully it won't be an issue anymore...but if her life is so miserable that she has to commute from Houston or San Marcos or wherever to maintain her only social outlet (ie my roommate), that's when I'll put my foot down. For now, I'll just hope her stay here ends when the school year does. ------------------ P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
At least she doesn't jack with the thermostat like she owns the place (or maybe she does) My current roommate's girlfriend does that **** all the time!!!!
Before I moved to Austin, I roomed with my cousin - we had grown up together almost as brothers. Anyway we lived together for about a year and his nasty ass girlfriend was always over - annoying the piss out of me. As is a common theme in this thread, she made a mess, dirtied the dishes, even bringing stray animals in so they could have a home. All of this and she didn't pay a dime worth of rent! Needless to say this pissed me off just a tad. The horrible thing about the whole situation is that since I've been going to school here at UT, I haven't spoken with my cousin once. It's amazing what one person can do to a relationship. -Turbo
Same situation. I'd have to say mine was worse because it happened at Jester - 2 people, 1 room...make that 3 people, 1 room. My roommate's girlfriend lived one floor above, but I guess they both felt more comfortable in my room (just my luck ). My roommate never asked me if I was okay with it, and I never told him that I had a problem with it. She would stay over 5 nights a week, and whenever he was in the room, she was in the room. One time I found her bra on my blanket , and she just laughed it off when I told her. Fortunately, they never had sex while I was in the room. This lasted for a couple of weeks until school was over for the summer. It turned out pretty well for me. My roommate failed out of college. I've moved on. I can't believe this has happened to so many people. ------------------
Try being extra nice to her. Compliment her on how she looks. Give her flowers. Tell her your roommate should treat her better. It might not help your relationship with your roommate, but he'll probably find someplace else to take her. ------------------ Stay Cool...
I've lucked out so far with my roommate. I transferred to UH in the spring so he had a different roommate last fall and he was telling me about how he'd always bring up chicks for some sex and he'd ask his roommate if he could have some time with his girl and the dude would always leave for like a couple hours. I lucked out though b/c he's never tried doing that crap with me. Also it's like I don't even have a roommate, I haven't seen the dude in 3 and a half weeks and something tells me he's in the hospital. The answering machine's had a couple message mentioning a hospital, but I'm sure it's not serious or anything. Anyway, the only problem I ever had with him was he used all of my sleeping pills and never replaced them.
I hate to burst ya bubble But you can AT LEAST look to having your weekends f*cked. . . .Maybe it will be hit and miss [He got there . . she come to you] but she seems the type to be in ya room every weekend It may be a improvement. . . but not a solution Rocket River Maybe you should start hinting STRONGLY about a Threesome *grin* ------------------
yo yo...I don't pile on...2 girls now that's alright, but I'll never pile on with another guy... I know you were probably joking, but this girl is freaky...she'd probably be into it, unlike in Chasing Amy. I've actually thought about that...how her being further away could actually make it worse...since she might not want to make the trip back to her hole all that often and just end up staying at our apartment for even longer, extended periods of time...we'll see...but like I said, if it comes to that then we'll have to throw down. ------------------ P.S.

YOu realize what that was. They ****ed on your bed... My friend lived in a dorm at A&M and had a roommate who would **** his girlfriend while he was in the room. A lot of other stuff happened (not all dealing with his roommate) but it got to the point where he commuted from Houston every day. Then one day he comes back to the room with his Dad to pick up his stuff, and they find his roommate and girlfriend NAKED IN HIS BED. With his sheets and everything.
Damn, Prempeh, you've got quite a dilemma. I feel your pain though, as we had all kinds of drama when I lived at College Park with three friends last year. One of my roommates had an annoying girlfriend who lived at Kinsolving, didn't have a car so ended up being at our place all the damn time. Eventually me and the other two dudes had a little intervention with the other guy and told him to get her the f*ck out of here. Dude, just tell your roommate that his girlfriend shouldn't be there all the damn time. Say it nicely and tell him that you need your space. Suggest that he stays at her place once in awhile. On another note, me and my 3 roommates here at Sterling are all single so anytime we have chicks stay the night, it's usually just for that night only ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
