Her Boyfriend Has A New Single, Female Roommate, And She’s Concerned
This 26-year-old woman has a 40-year-old boyfriend named Sam, and they live in an extremely expensive city.
Sam rents a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and while he can afford to live alone, he enjoys having a roommate.
Sam’s job is super lonely, and he works from home, so he likes that a roommate provides him with a bit of company.
Sam used to live with one of his female friends named Lola, but Lola recently got pregnant and moved out to live with the man she just got engaged to.
“I never had a problem with Sam having a female roommate as I knew Lola had a boyfriend, and they were very good friends, so I just saw it as normal; both people needed a place to live and wanted to split the rent,” she explained.
“Since Lola had to move out and the apartment price is extremely expensive, Sam was in search of a new roommate. He did ask me to move in with him, but I consider it too early on in the relationship, and I really value my independence as I am very busy with my classes/job/research and can’t add a live-in partner to the mix at this time.”
“Lola felt very bad that she had to move out before the lease is up, in September, so she told Sam she would find someone to take her room and relieve Sam from the burden of having to pay the whole rent by himself.
Lola has a friend named Alice who just split up with her boyfriend and wanted to find a new place to live ASAP.
Lola told Alice about Sam’s apartment, and Alice moved right in with Sam yesterday. Alice was supposed to move in over the weekend, but after getting into an enormous fight with her now-ex, she bumped up her move-in date.

She promises she’s not a jealous girlfriend, and she trusts Sam implicitly, but she can’t shake the feeling that Alice is a disaster on the horizon.
Alice is clearly going through a tough time right now and she thinks this girl is going to need a lot of support.
“Emotionally and perhaps even with her stuff and everything that comes with a breakup,” she said.
“Combine that with a move, and it is a lot. I empathize with her, but I am scared of how this will affect Sam and me. I am currently abroad for the next 3 weeks, which means that Sam is home most of the time and will be spending a lot of time with Alice.”
“Alice will be vulnerable, and I am sure Sam will try to take care of her as much as he can as they are now roommates, and a roommate sometimes is like family. I am scared they will bond a lot, to be honest.”
She has thought about addressing her worries with Sam, but she feels that wouldn’t be a reasonable thing for her to do.
Sam really would like a roommate so he can avoid paying the insane rent price on his condo. The lease is over in about three months, and she thinks if Sam and Alice hit it off, they will definitely sign up for another lease.
She’s left feeling like Sam’s new roommate isn’t going to be a good thing for her, but she doesn’t know if it’s appropriate to voice her concerns.
