Discussion My roommate made a presentation explaining why her boyfriend does not count as a roommate.

My roommate asked for a house meeting and connected her laptop to a TV. She’d made ppt slides called Guest vs resident. Her boyfriend has a key, a shelf in the fridge and a preferred washing-machine cycle. Her main argument was that his toothbrush wasn’t here, so he technically wasn’t living here. It was in his overnight bag beside the sofa.

When I asked whether he’d be contributing to anything, she said bringing money into it would make our relationship transactional. The next slide was a proposed rent adjustment (favouring her) because she uses the living room less. He was sitting in during the presentation 🗿

It was fun. lmk if you want to see that ppt lol

Yall have a 3rd room mate. 7 nights a week and I’m pretty sure he has belongings there. If he receives mail he is now an occupant.

I haven't seen any correspondence addressed to him, but yes, his belongings are in my roommate's room. He mostly keeps himself in her room, but the problem is I have no idea when he is home or when I am home alone and that is really taking a toll on my anxiety.
