Today, my roommate's boyfriend told me he would be driving the several hours EVERY weekend to come see his girlfriend. As a couple, they are constantly all over each other, and can't seem to break out of the annoying baby talk voice. Plus, they like to kick me out of the room to do stuff. FML

maybe if you were an adult and referred to it as "having sex" rather than "doing stuff" you wouldn't be so uncomfortable. group up. everyone has sex; if you're uncomfortable then you're obviously not getting laid.

The way this FML is written is annoyingly babyish as well; it sounds like whining you'd find on a blog.
#7 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:20pm by DameGreyWulf
Seriously. There's no FML here except maybe at the end.
Still, get over yourself, OP.

its definitely a whiny sheltered college freshman. "omg they do STUFF! totes EWW! i bring a camera everywhere i go so i can have 4683486 facebook pics!!11"

Well, unless you're just sponging there, it's your place too. If they want alone time so bad, then tell them they need to give you an incentive to give them time alone. Of course, you could also just tell 'em off. If they want it so badly, they can make their own damn foxhole.
#8 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:21pm by blastvortex
Ooh, do what kind of stuff? Movies? Arm-wrestling? Yahtzee? Those things can get pretty loud. You shouldn't hold that against them.
Why did I imagine this FML being spoken in the annoying baby-talk voice that the OP was complaining about?
#10 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:24pm by Tequilamockngbrd
YDI for allowing yourself to be kicked out. If its your(or partially your's) apartment/house/dorm then no one can "make you" leave.

Don't worry, OP, that'll get old for them very quickly.
It won't be long before we'll see a post from your roommate that says, "Today my boyfriend dumped me because he said he's tired of driving several hours every weekend to see a girl who still uses baby talk. FML".
Fuck the boyfriend! Literally.
It will break those losers up and get you a new roommate to boot.
They can't kick you out on a regular basis. If they want to have sex, they need to pay for a motel room -- either for themselves or for you, or bring you into the threesome.
Good point. Just start flirting with the guy and wear revealing clothes. Your roommate will never bring him by again.
#20 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:34pm by I_am_stupid_also
Tell them you have as much right to the place as they do and they can go to a motel if they need more privacy.
Then the next time they try to get intimate, invite your loudest friends over for a drink.
#18 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:32pm by I_am_stupid_also
Slap that baby talk right out of your roommate, nobody should be talking baby talk while getting it on. Plus, you should really stand up for yourself and not let those two walk all over you.
#21 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:40pm by bentonthegreat
I take it that you live in a single dorm room as opposed to an apartment with your roommate as you state that they like to kick you out of your "room". If you are unable to mediate a reasonable solution with your roommate that gives her the privacy she craves while ensuring that your right to peacefully live without discomfort or hassle in your own room is met, I suggest that you seek help from the Housing Department at your university.
#23 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:43pm by Jewelofagal
I agree... most universities have policies in place regarding guests. At my college, for example, guests of any variety must leave if the roommate doesn't want them there. Also, overnight guests are only allowed for 3 nights consecutively and no more than 10 nights a semester, but the roommate still has the right to refuse an overnight guest. Furthermore, cohabitation is strictly forbidden.
Another policy our school enforces relates to academic performance: If your roommate is doing anything that keeps you from (potentially) doing well in class, you have the right to make them stop.
Repeated abuse of any of these policies can result in the offending student's contract being revoked (i.e. being kicked out of campus housing). Check your housing contract for similar rules and speak with your RA about any violations. You are paying to live there and you shouldn't let your roommate walk all over you.
The OP never said that the boyfriend stays overnight. It's reasonable to assume he does, but we don't know for sure.
Also, getting "kicked out" of your room so that your roomie can have sex is not going to prevent you from achieving good grades. Have you ever heard of a library? I don't know about your campus, but my school has two large academic libraries with study/conference rooms and a huge law library. Anyone can go in and use them. Not to mention she could go to the student union/caf, a coffee shop, or sit down in a park and do her homework.
As for the OP, stop your whining. You're in college. You really shouldn't be surprised that your roommate needs some alone time with her boyfriend on the weekends. The way you wrote this, it doesn't seem like they see each other during the week. Give them an inch. Surely you can find something to do, a friend to hang out with for an hour or two and let them have sex. So quit being a little bitch and go get laid yourself. It'll make you feel better.
#74 - On 11/10/2009 at 5:45pm by hot_mess88
its the same way at my college but no one actually memorizes the rules and goes and rats someone out for staying more than 3 nights in a row. you are probably the dorm rat who marches to Housing and feels all proud when you report someone. when I lived in the dorms even my RA said that no one really cares unless the guest is basically living with you.
and the OP doesn't actually have to leave when they tell her to, just tell them to get over it, its your room too.
#85 - On 11/10/2009 at 7:52pm by expen_dable
The only thing I've ever involved housing with was when my roommate was dragged back to our room from a party completely blacked out (barely breathing and no detectable heart beat). So no, I don't go run to the RAs for every little thing.
Also, I go to a school where academics come first. Our library and student center are open 24/7 and students take advantage of this on a regular basis. However, we aren't allowed to sleep in either building. Nor does every student find such environments a productive environment. Getting good grades involves a lot more than doing assignments. Getting adequate sleep on a regular schedule to stay healthy is important, too.
point is, expen_dable, that there ARE those rules in place, and if she's really that unhappy, she can use them to her advantage.
there's probably a middle ground to be reached here.
what kind of "stuff" do they do? Does he change her colostomy bag or something? You dont want to walk around with a dirty colostomy bag..
And remember: front to back, never back to front
#24 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:43pm by donkey_hang_down
Okay, so you can't give them some privacy? Stop being a whiny bitch..
#25 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:43pm by Darthbane2007
Every weekend? Really? Nobody needs to put up with that shit. Tell the overbearing bitch to do it while youre out, write it down and make her sign it. Bring that shit to housing if you need some extra leverage.
College actually is for learning, and part of that is how to stand up for yourself against inconsiderate assholes.
#78 - On 11/10/2009 at 6:53pm by willothwisp
Get a new roommate, move out. Or join in and make it a threesome. Either way, quit complaining and do something about it.
#27 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:44pm by jonnymohio
The room's half yours, so instead of whining, assert yourself. There are RAs and housing staff for just such things, if you haven't the guts to do it yourself. Although really, throwing you out for the whole weekend should be enough to give you a backbone, because it's frankly insane. YDI if you don't take steps to defend your right to the room.
#28 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:47pm by pope_suburban
The only part of this that might be a drag is that they kick you out, but they can't really kick you out can they. Just stay. My room mate and I used to do it all the time. Just let them go about their business while you watch TV or read a book or whatever. Just don't start masturbating cause that's creepy.
How did this lame ass FML get approved? Leave the room and shut up

#31 - On 11/10/2009 at 2:53pm by donkey_hang_down
yea, because getting angry of the fact that you're getting kicked out of your OWN ROOM automatically means you're jealous of them, right
#64 - On 11/10/2009 at 4:41pm by technolove
big deal. its a minor inconvenience. and if you had boyfriend, youd expect the same.
#38 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:02pm by shuffleyourfeet
I don't know if it's a minor inconvience, my brother and his girlfriend like to 'do stuff' in the room right next to my bedroom, and I'm sorry, but listening to THAT going on is absolutely disgusting. Last time I thought I was going to vomit all over myself, just the sound effects were...ugh. It's rude, do it somewhere ELSE. You share the damn room so you should be respectful of each other, and by that I mean her and her boyfriend should find somewhere else to fuck each other rather then kicking her out of her own room.
EVERY weekend? Nah. It's your room too, set up a schedule and tell them you aren't going to be at their mercy.
Perhaps recommend a hotel. Then if you have to crash their session, too bad for them, they'll learn.
But it's YOUR room too.
Nope. You're her roommate, that means you have equal rights to the room. They can find another place to go one day out of the weekend or every other weekend so you aren't being kicked out every week.
Take consolation in this: My roommate and her boyfriend were the same way, being all baby-talk and touch each other all the time...and before the year was up they had broken up. Hope for the best. ;)
#42 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:07pm by randomoutburst
Well, if you offer her BF a threesome, he probably wouldn't mind you staying in the room after all.
#43 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:10pm by Feverrotes
YDI for not standing up for yourself. You live there two. Either grow a pair and say something to them, or quit whining about it.
#44 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:13pm by deaditegirl
Agreed 100%! OP just sounds whiny and jealous. If they really dont want to be kicked out of their room (which is understandable) they need to speak up for themselves and ask their roommate to get a hotel room.
How about you get a boyfriend and spend some time with him?
#52 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:44pm by turdburgers
i deal with the same thing. except they kick me out by taking my keys when i go to the bathroom.
#55 - On 11/10/2009 at 3:53pm by xmagicgirlxx
If you're not willing to stand up for yourself, you deserve to be inconvenienced.
Tell them to make out at Hardee's or something.
#58 - On 11/10/2009 at 4:03pm by tombrazelton
1) start inviting really religious people over for a bible study during the time he is there. Read passages from the bible about sexual immorality. 2) you are not required to leave. It is your room as well. Tell the RA that she is inviting guests over without your permission. As you pay to live there, it could be reason enough for her to be forced to move out. 3) Pretend you have swine flu. 4) Tell them if they do not take it somewhere else then you are going to tell someone they are sexually harassing you.
YDI for being a doormats. you need to stick up for yourself and compromise but it's also YOUR room so they have to respect your space also
#61 - On 11/10/2009 at 4:17pm by Starfire22
damn~, that sucks D: they kick you out of your own room? wtf?!
#63 - On 11/10/2009 at 4:38pm by technolove
Are you whining because they kick you out?
What? You wanna be there while they "do stuff"?
#68 - On 11/10/2009 at 5:00pm by rebel_yell_tiny
I wouldn't let me kick out of my own room! Tell them to rent a room for themselves or something or wait till you are out yourself.
At least they kick you out. My roommate and her boyfriend came back from a party one night and started doing stuff...at 6am...while I was trying to sleep.
FYL though. Perhaps suggest to them that they should go somewhere else? It really isn't fair of them to do that to you. It's also your room, not just hers.
#76 - On 11/10/2009 at 6:04pm by animejen1988
While you can suggest they go somewhere else, as long as she's not bugging you with people through then entire week i would say you should find somewhere to go for the time they need the room. You can talk to her about it being every weekend too. maybe talk to her about alternating weekends. and for goodness sake its a couple days out of the week. stop whining about it. He's driving a long way to see her and at least they told you that they would like the room. so technically they're not kicking you out, especially if you agreed to it. and if you have a problem with it, grow a backbone and tell them to find a hotel. YDI.
#79 - On 11/10/2009 at 7:15pm by BlackDragoness
i have a roommate who does the exact same thing. but thankfully i don't share a room with him. his girlfriend lives in Grays Lake, Illinois and travels to downtown Chicago EVERY weekend so that her and my roommate can have loud sex for everyone to hear at 4a.m. when we're all trying to sleep. they are also all over each other ALL the time and it's disgusting. and they do baby-talk to each other ALL the time. they hog the bathroom as well to have sex in it; and mind you, they share the bathroom with two other people. all they do is have sex everyday the girlfriend is here when EVERYONE is here so to disgust us as deeply as possible.
#81 - On 11/10/2009 at 7:31pm by RedDragon8712
sounds like someone is bitter that her friend is getting some loving and she isnt. fyl for being single and unwanted
With any luck they'll despise each other in a week or two; THAT all over each other, it sounds inevitable. Better hide a cam and get it up on YouTube quick, then.

In most colleges - you have to agree with letting a visitor stay in even if it's your roommates friend. Has to be cleared with your RA or whatever if it's an extended period of time. If it's one day a weekend - then you might have to talk to your RA about it.
#98 - On 11/10/2009 at 10:26pm by bugmenotmofo

#99 - On 11/10/2009 at 11:03pm by GreenHacker
Having been in that situation myself with 2 different roommates...yes, FYL.
Yes, sexile is a given part of college life, and yes, you should be tolerant of it once in a while. But every weekend is, well, a lot. OP is paying just as much for the room as her roommate is, and shouldn't have to be spending half of every weekend trying to figure out when she's allowed to be in the room. OP also didn't specify for how long. My roommate freshman year would oust me for two 8-hour days when her boyfriend came to visit, which is absolutely unfair.
For that matter, FHL even if she's not getting sexiled. Having a third person of the opposite sex staying over every weekend, especially if said person spends a lot of time actually in the room, can be incredibly distracting and uncomfortable.
Try having a roommate who's boyfriend goes to the same college as you - better yet, lives in the same dorm. I went home for a week this semester, and the first DAY I was back, I was sexiled 5 times. And the first week I was back, her boyfriend slept in the room every single night. Eventually I grew some balls and told her off about it.
Do the same. So worth it.
Try talking to them and compromise that since he is coming down EVERY weekend, then you should take turns on who gets the house/apartment that weekend if they want to fool around and kick you out. That's what I would do
ydi for not speaking up and telling them they can't just kick you of of the room like that
#106 - On 11/11/2009 at 1:28am by katherinebby17
No one can walk all over you without your permission. Stop giving them permission. Tell them flat it that it's YOUR room too, and you have a right to it. If they want privacy, they can find a motel.
And yes, I would involve the school if need be. Someone is paying a whole lot of money for you to be there. If you can't get your own studing done for their hot times, and/or you don't get your own relax time (which you are entitled to) it will start affecting your grades.
Considering the amount of distractions she's permitting herself your room mate will probably end up w/ a career at McDonalds. If she's lucky.
#111 - On 11/11/2009 at 3:45am by Zvonimiria
YDI for not having a backbone to tell them get fucked...wait..
#113 - On 11/11/2009 at 9:16am by Kickmehard
Since you say "room," I'm going to presume this is a college roommate (unless you're in a very small, unfortunate one-room apartment). Talk to your RA. If your college has a half-decent guest/visitor policy, then her boyfriend will have no right to be there every weekend, and kick you out.
But I would go with the path of least resistance. Talk to your RA/Residence Life Office about changing rooms. If there's one available and it is that simple, just do it. It isn't worth going through the grief of coming to an arrangement with your roommate: my guess is she and her boyfriend won't want to budge, and even bringing it up will lead to an epic battle of passive aggressiveness and making your life miserable. If it's not possible (due to space reasons), then have a mediation and come to an agreement about the visits. You should NOT have to put up with an additional roommate in the form of a boyfriend every weekend. Every other weekend, perhaps (still not ideal, but more reasonable), but every weekend is ridiculous.
It's called sex... not "stuff". Definitely going to be an interesting roommate if you're too much of a prude to say sex... and that's coming from someone who is a prude!
#117 - On 11/12/2009 at 8:22am by mandapanda
You're paying for that room just the same as she is, and dorm rooms are not cheap. Figure out how much you pay per day/night for the room, and tell her that you want your money's worth and you won't leave unless you are reimbursed that amount from her. Most college students are low enough on money that this will shut them up. Good luck!
Same thing happened to me. But not only are they all over each other.. when they're not.. they fight. I received advise to wear a lacy bra and panties and dance around when he is around. If you prefer not to do it **like I did because my boyfriend wouldn't be too happy with it** Tell her that it makes you uncomfortable and if she doesn't change her ways then she doesn't respect you and you have every right to move out or if you're living in a dorm and you have rules about it, you can tell the R.A.
#119 - On 11/12/2009 at 6:15pm by secretsliewithin
wow...my friends do the same thing...only worse. they don't kick me out of the room to do stuff...they just start going without any warning. so if i'm not paying attention, i just look over and they're pretty much getting it on right in front of me
boo fucking hoo.
You'd want them to be gone if you wanted to do stuff.
stop whining...
gawsh
#121 - On 11/14/2009 at 9:53pm by Passionatestars
Room? Single room that you can't get away from?
Every weekend? Every now and then, okay, but if it's every weekend...Fuck that, tell 'em to find alternate accommodation for their weekly trysts.
F'n A man i'm there with you when it comes to that baby talk bullshit. Some chick tried that on me. I covered her mouth and told her to grow up. Actually it was worse than baby talk, this chick would make googoo gaagaa noises. It was hard to refrain from hitting her and telling her to speak like a big girl. Basically i told her to shut the fuck up and get out of my room since she didn't stop.
#124 - On 12/04/2009 at 6:30pm by hercules268
If you guys are sharing one room it sounds lke you guys are starting post-secondary. Don't worry, their relationship won't last if that's the case. and you'll have peace again :)
