Today, it's been a week since I was dumped. I planned to stay at my apartment, cry, and eat chocolate in peace. My roommate decided to have loud sex with her boyfriend in the apartment. She refused to quiet down, saying, "My body, my rules." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my now-ex dumped me at a house party, which I then couldn't leave, as all my things were at his house, where I was meant to be staying. FML
Today, I got dumped during sex. FML
Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me, "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I wanted to sleep in after a rough week, only to be woken up by my roommate's sex screams and the pounding of her bed against the wall. Earplugs did not help. FML
Today, I was dumped at the surprise party I threw for my boyfriend. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me after a year of living together. She told me that she met someone else and wanted to move out. She moved out... but moved her things into my roommate's bedroom. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I felt down, so I laid in bed and told my parents I needed some alone time. A couple of minutes later, one of them started blasting "All by Myself" so loud that I felt the floorboards vibrate. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She responded by sitting on the floor, crying like a baby and screaming "WHY?" at strangers. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. She kicked me out of the apartment and told me to never come back. Devastated, I waited outside of the apartment door for hours, hoping she'd reconsider. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to her foot stomping on me, screaming, "I meant it!" FML
Today, I ate dinner sitting on the floor. My petty roommate got pissed off during the weekend and decided the appropriate action would be to lock all the furniture in her room and refuse to give it back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"My half the rent check, my rules too"

Just say "my body, my rules" back at her and stand in their room, or sit!

Take a shit on her bed and say 'my body, my rules.'

I'm surprised more people aren't criticizing OP for wanting to stay in and eat chocolate all depressed after being dumped for a week. Normally I see those kinds of responses, followed by "get over it and go out and meet someone." O.o Still, OP, that's very inconsiderate of your roommate. Maybe you should get a loud vibrator or something and crank it up when she's trying to sleep. Or crank up a porno.

my body my rules? that means if I want to have sex dobt judge me. What it does not mean is I m allowed to have loud sex and be rude to my roomate about it. I wpuld have said something along the lines of " you dont singularly own the place, we share, I dont want to hear you doing the nasty, that has nothing to do with your body, it has to do with the face that its bothing other people"

"My body, my rules" has absolutely nothing to do with having loud sex just to throw it in your face. Your roommate needs to learn how to treat other people. I hope you had somewhere to go, like your parents house so you can eat chocolate and cry in peace. My heart goes out to you.

Why should she have to be quiet and comfort you all the time? Go see your friends, let her be. She shouldn't be the victim of your problems.

It's true that the roommate shouldn't have to tiptoe around the OP's situation, but they're hardly a victim... From what it sounds like, all that happened was the OP asked them to do was to keep it down. It wouldn't kill the roommate to have quiet sex rather than loud out of consideration for the heartbroken person in the next room. Common courtesy, you know? I didn't read anything about the OP wanting them to sit and comfort them.

Then leave for the day, go to the movies or something! There are solutions to your dilemma.

Play music from children's shows really loud. Troll them until you feel better.

Unless she's banging your ex, what does her having sex have to do with you? Stop trying to use your problems to cockblock your roommate. That's some "if I can't be happy, no one can" crap.

Sorry, if I was paying to live somewhere I would want to be comfortable in my home. They are sharing the rent so a compromise should have been able to be reached. Since it is OPs apartment too, she has every right to ask to not have to hear that. The roommate needs to atop being such a selfish person. Nobody wants to hear their roommate having sex all the time. She needs to either quiet down or do it when OP is at work or something. Also, OP has since responded and it isn't just a recent thing. the roommate has a history of being inconsiderable on multiple accounts. (:

Screw that. If she didn't have an issue with it until she was dumped... that's some "misery loves company" crap.

Didn't know that OP elaborated on the situation. You're right. If it's been an ongoing issue, the roommate is definitely inconsiderate.
