OTOH, I was interpreting that "she even said that she will be sharing the room shortly" to mean that she & he would make their sharing-of-the-room a permanent feature, and would require our dear, innocent child to pay 1/2 the rent. Whose presumption is correct?
Though I understood it as the former i.e. un-sharing and joining @shravs3 (as per the original plan) either way I would take it with a pinch of salt. Maybe she too sensed that their new roommate feels left out and said something to keep things going lest they lose her share of the rent, just saying. Keeping my fingers crossed for @shravs3
My presumption is most likely correct. My assumption about my presumption being corrected is further bolstered towards certainty after reading @Lalithambigai 's note/pinch of caution. I would caution shravs3 to not lose the win-win setup. Pay 1/3 rent and get room to self. Come up with and have handy some excuses to delay the gal's move back to shrav's room. Some that come to mind readily are: "Oh let me clean up the room first.", "I will be taking some late night calls."
I am not sure if I will be able to handle the guilt of having separated you guyz. It's OK. I am getting used to being on my own and more than willing to adjust for you guyz. Please don't worry about me. I want you both to be Happy!
This is a lot more information than expected. And I am so.... Having a reserve-bed away in another room isn't an unusual thing, when everybody, including webMD would recommend a good night's sleep on school-nights*. I hope the other girl isn't a member here. If she is, she might pipe in, and offer more details on the mattress. Why is Memorial Day the day when America has Mattress Sale commercials on TV ? * from Dictionary: school night noun a night before a morning on which one must get up for school or (in humorous use) work. "I didn't mean to drink so much red wine on a school night"
Now this reason for moving back is making me very uncomfortable ! What on earth was stopping her from buying a bed before ? ? Are you sure she or he is not on IL and has not read about the 1/3 rd rent advantage ? I would highly recommend keeping a neutral stance on anything related to them. Specially considering that they are your colleagues. It’s good they are helpful but once you have figured your way around rely less on them. The other suggestion I had in mind considering my roommate experience . My roommates BF’s kept to themselves and their GF’s in their room. At no point was I in the apartment with them without their girlfriends. Have you thought about this ? This is something you need to let the female roomie know. If she is out , he needs to be out too. I am probably old fashioned here but it’s also my age and experience talking . If I were you I would bring this up with her in a nice casual conversation but state this firmly.
