A man is standing his ground after his female roommate asked him to leave their house for the night when she has her friends over for a birthday slumber party.
In a post on the âAm I the Aââ?â forum on Reddit, the 21-year-old wrote that he lives in a shared house with âtwo straight couples, totaling three men and two women, including me. Weâre all around college age.â
Then detailing that one of his roommates is planning to host a 20th birthday party with around 20 people invited, the man said, âI really have no problem with this, and some of my other roommates have also hosted parties in the past, and weâve had a good time overall.â
âHowever, this time, she says that sheâs planning to have some of her friends sleep over and that a couple of them are not comfortable sleeping in the same house with men they donât know,â he continued, adding that the roommate âwants me and my friend (the other man in the house) to vacate for the night and sleep somewhere else.â
Noting that the woman will âpresumablyâ let her boyfriend stay the night, though, the man further explained, âThis is over spring break, so she says that we should just go home or stay with friends for the night.â
Now, the man said he is refusing to comply with his roommateâs ask, given that the house they all live in is âquite big,â and the two boysâ bedrooms âare both on the opposite side of the house from hers.â
In the comments section of the post, many found the womanâs request to be suspicious and suggested there might be more to her reasoning for wanting the two men to vacate.
âMy guess is sheâs planning to let her friends use [your] room,â one person wrote, adding: âI would absolutely be home that day and night.â
âYeah, it sounds like she and her friends planned on having a great guesthouse for their spring break party week â for free! Only problem is if the two âunreliableâ men donât leave their own home for no reason, the girls wonât have enough free comfy beds to sleep in,â someone else theorized.
Others, meanwhile, said it should be the other way around, and that the man should express his discomfort with so many strangers in their home.
âAbsolutely tell them no and that youâre starting not to feel comfortable with her in the house because she made you feel less secure,â one user wrote. âIâd tell her to move her party to a hotel because that makes as much sense as kicking residents out.â

Another added, âYou pay rent, so itâs your home too. If her friends arenât comfortable, thatâs on her to figure out, not you.â
âShe should be finding them other sleeping arrangements, not kicking out her roommates,â they continued.
