Am I a bad roommate?

<p>So I started living off campus and currently live in a two bedroom with another person. I'm not home during the day but get home at about 6-10pm. The thing is that I never go out so I'm always at home during the night hours, whether its the weekday or weekend. My roommate gets home around the same time so she never has the house to herself even when her boyfriend stays the night, but I do sometimes because she goes out and stays over at her boyfriends house. If you had a roommate like that would you be annoyed? I'm not loud or anything and I usually stay in my room.</p>

<p>It’s probably okay. Why don’t you ask your roommate?</p>

<p>My current roommate is home every night and I occasionally have my boyfriend over. To the best of my knowledge it hasn’t been an issue for either one of us. It helps that the apartment is set up so that neither one of us can hear what the other one does in her bedroom, which gives both of us some privacy. :)</p>

<p>Two years ago I shared an apartment with another person who left the apartment only for class. The walls were thinner too… Some alone time was at the top of my wish list.</p>

<p>No you aren’t being a bad roomate because you are entitled to be in the room since you two are roomates. If she didn’t want you there then she would have got a single room or something else. I don’t think that it would be right if she expected for you to leave the room a few nights. If you are paying to live there then you should be able to sleep there every night if you want. If she wants alone time with her boyfriend, she can go elsewhere (which she has already been doing) so it’s fine.</p>

<p>No. You live there and you are entitled to be there whenever she wants. By living with a roommate, you are by default accepting the fact that you may not have any alone time in your place. If she wanted to be alone with her boyfriend, she should get a one-bedroom and pay the higher price.</p>

<p>When I have roommates and my boyfriend’s over I never expect them to clear out - we just stay in my room, or we go out.</p>
