Replying to My Roommate
I need the community's opinion on my situation. Here's a bit of background: I live in Montreal and go to the same school with my friend from home. He has a girlfriend that I did not know about when we signed the lease. She is not a bitch or anything, but it gets quite annoying when I have a lot of school work to finish during the week (sun-thurs) and they are here all the time on completely different schedules. I do not mind her coming to the house, but since she also has her own apartment literally five minutes away, I told him that they need to go there for part of the week as well. My roommate and I have talked and decided that the most fair thing to do would be to split the week in two-meaning he and his girlfriend can be here 3x/week and they will go to her apartment 3x/week. This plan seemed perfect in my mind and he knows there are certain days of the week that I do not care if they are here and ones where i would prefer they were not (i.e. the first part of the week when i am busy vs. the weekend when i am usually out anyway). Like clockwork, every Thursday, they show up and stay here until Sunday morning. Now that is three days right there and actually works perfectly b/c i am not concerned with getting work done during that period. But he also shows up randomly with her like now or sneaks back here around 4 in the morning with her like 2 or 3 times during the week. As you are all able to count, this is more than 3x/week as we have agreed is fair. This is a problem b/c i hate having to tell him over and over again what I mean. I thought he understood b/c he is very clearly an intelligent person. I do not know if he is fucking with me and trying to take advantage of me or if he really is that forgetful and absentminded. I feel like they are just lazy and aren't willing to sacrifice any of their plans b/c it's too much of a pain for them. I really am not asking that much of him though. As usually seems to be the case in said situations, I am most pissed that he cannot follow these simple directions. What would you guys do? Right now my plan is to let them be here three days during the week and if thursday rolls around, just tell my roommate that they have already been here three times. And if he was trying to hang out with her here this weekend, that he should keep track b/c that was the whole point of making this arrangement in the first place. Opinions?
