Living with roommates, oh the horror. We've been there a time or two, or three. It doesn't matter how good of friends you are, how much you like each other, or how much you hate each other, there will always be some trivial issues that instigate arguments and unpleasantry. 

Although in OP's case, the issues were far from trivial and she was blatantly disrespected. We hope that after reading the overwhelming support that Reddit users offered her in this #AITA thread, she'll have the confidence to stand up for herself and put an end to this food stealing, clothes on the floor leaving, overall asshole vibe having madness that is her roommate's boyfriend.

    Font - I (19f) have a roommate Kayla also (19f), we have been roommates for almost 1 year. we have always had this shared refrigerator situation going on where we alternate every week or two on who buys the groceries, cleaning supplies, etc. But we don't cook for each other. (very important to the story)

    Organism - Well, 6months ago Kayla got a boyfriend, Caleb (21m) who has been spending a lot of time in our apartment. He would leave his mess every and when I say everywhere I really mean it. He would leave his clothes on the bathroom floor and living room floor, but the biggest issue was he would eat everything, even the things that were strictly mine i.e leftover takeout, dinners that I cooked for myself.

    Human body - I've talked with my roommate about this multiple times and she said she would talk to him but it doesn't really seem like she even tries to talk to him. which seems like she is enabling him to continue this behavior.

    Font - Here's where the incident happened. Two nights ago I made myself some dinner, I was following this recipe and I was making fried chicken that had some sort of sauce that contained honey in it. ( also very important to the story). Neither I nor my roommate has any sort of allergy so I didn't say anything to her when I made it or when I put my leftovers in Tupperware and in the fridge.

    Font - well, yesterday I got back home from work, and my roommate wasn't home. I didn't question it and moved on with my day. A few hours later I heard the front door open, and a few moments later my roommate enters my room and just starts yelling at me say I could've killed her boyfriend and how I am irresponsible, and how dare I put my food in the fridge unlabeled when her boyfriend is allergic to honey. But here's the thing I didn't know he was allergic to honey.

    Font - Here's where I think I might be the asshole. I tried explaining to her that I simply didn't know of her boyfriend's allergy and he should've never been touching my food knowing he has an allergy and could potentially be put himself in harm's way, which he did in this situation. I also mentioned that I told her to tell him not to touch my food and she blew up on me even more saying that I am dismissing her feelings and I mentioned that she's been dismissing mine ever since he got here. we

    Font - I told my friend about what happened and she told that even though he was in the wrong for basically stealing my food, I should've never said that to my roommate because she was in a stressful situation where a loved one could've died now I feel bad and think I might've been in the wrong. So am I the asshole? 2113 Comments Award A Share 96% Upvoted ...

    Smile - smartsassseahorse · 16 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [13] NTA. The bf is. If the bf is allergic, he should not eat anything without knowing what's in. I would label everything I make as containing honey. His fault if he gets sick. 23.3k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Rectangle - Downtown-Asparagus-9 · 15 hr. ago I would honestly start just putting honey in everything and label it that way. No one steals my food, no one has an allergic reaction 10.1k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Font - SuspiciousMallow · 14 hr. ago · edited 12 hr. ago Idk why should she let him know beyond maybe putting her name on it if she just continues on with regular cooking? It's HER food that HE shouldn't be touching anyways.... If she does put honey in everything out of maliciousness then yes label it has honey. Edit: NTA. He STOLE it. He doesn't get to complain about the consequences of his own actions. Edit 2: add on 3.3k Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow

    Font - femmemalin · 15 hr. ago Partassipant [1] Literally everything. Tupperware full of leftovers? Big visible dollop of honey on the side. Bag of fresh produce? Big visible dollop of honey at the bottom. Bag of chips? Honey all over the outside. All clearly labeled of course. For safety. 345 Reply Give Award Share Report Save Follow
