It's 100% normal to date the wrong person many times in your life. That's how dating works. You start to see someone you like, until you realize you actually don't click at all. Eventually, you find someone you click with and all the ups and downs of the relationship are worth it. That's when you are able to look back at past heartbreaks and wonder, "What in tarnation was I thinking??" Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

  • Your college years are prime time for dating that special someone who usually ends up being that not-so-special someone. True, you might find your forever love by graduation, but for the first two years, you're making some questionable choices. It's toooootally normal. Take this Redditor's roommate for example. 

    Good thing she had such good roommates who were willing to call out her deadbeat boyfriend. This girl's boyfriend moved into her college home with three other student roommates. The boyfriend was only supposed to be there for a short time, but it quickly became apparent he was squatting there. So they request he start paying his share of the rent and utilities. He agreed, it was only fair after all. Funny thing, however, is that instead of getting a job or pulling his weight around the house with even the slightest effort, he just sat around and played video games all day. So the girls banded together and kicked him out. He tried to get revenge via social media, but it ended up making him look even more like a loser. Eventually, he even lost the girlfriend. Good for her!

    It's not just the boyfriends messing up in relationships, read about this crazy cat lady girlfriend!

    r/Entitled People . 1 day ago Evie7560 r/ Entitled boyfriend of housemate thinks he can live in my student home for free and then slander me online when we all ask him to leave. M This is an old one but I thought might be a good read. When I was a uni student, one of my housemates was dating a guy from her home town. She invited him to come visit for a couple of weeks, which we were all fine with, but that couple of weeks visit very quickly turned into him moving in and mooching off us. They bot

    But this didn't happen. He made no effort to find a job. He didn't pay any rent, paid nothing towards the bills, did nothing towards cleaning the house. He just spent all his time taking up our communal area, playing video games and watching TV. In their bedroom they just proceeded to have extremely loud that everybody could hear because the walls were too thin. In the end we had enough. It was about 3 months into his squatting that us remaining 3 housemates had a chat about whether this was acc

    decided I would be the one to broach the subject and take the lead on the conversation. Informing them both that he had overstayed his welcome and it was time he went home. He argued that he'd been struggling to find a job and that's why he was unable to pay his way, but we all pointed out he hadn't even made any attempts to find a job. Just spending all his time on the sofa playing video games. Eventually his girlfriend agreed that he'd been taking the a bit and asked if he wouldn't mind going

    Oh it wasn't. On the day of his moving out he proceeded to post something on Facebook. Thanking my other two housemates for being welcoming hosts whilst deliberately dragging my in the posts. Claiming I was really poor host and was throwing him out for no reason. Of course I wasn't going to stand for that. Calling him out and making it very clear it was a collective house decision and he had been living with us rent free for several months, which was not acceptable and pointing out we would have

    That ended in him making a grovelling apology under my comment. Saying he was sorry and he didn't intend for it to come out like that. Etc. etc. I didn't accept it because he knew what he was doing and just said he should take the post down because he's made an idiot of himself. He did, but I still made sure my side of the story was out there by making my own post.

    Anyway, he went home. We got our house back and he didn't visit again. Anytime my housemate and he wanted to see each other she would go back home. After a few weeks I'd found that he had also set up mobile contracts with his address listed as ours and was not paying them. I gave all the bills to my housemate to give to him. They eventually broke up but honestly she wasted too much time and energy on the complete waste of space. He was just an entitled user who didn't expect to come up against 3

    LilacSlumber • 19h ago ● Was this in Oregon? My brother moved to Oregon from TX with his girlfriend who had a full ride scholarship (I'm not sure to which college). He was back in a few months and never had a job while he was gone. Had to move back in with our parents and get a job after that. They eventually broke up. I can see him doing all the exact things you just described. (I know OP is not American, but could have gone to an American school.) 18+ Evie7560 OP • 18h ago Nope was in the UK.

    CantBelieveThisIsTru 1d ago Good life lesson. Hindsight is 2020 for all involved. Good thing you were all in agreement. Surely the roommate/gf has regrets in her mind when she thinks of him. Going forward all of you were more cautious abiut anyone staying in your place!

    From there, she tried to move him into the room permanently (on an all-girls floor no less) and finally locked me out of the room when I tried to ask her to have him leave (as our college had an overnight guest policy that they more then broke, they demolished it). The RA thought it was just a petty fight when I asked them to step in. . . until my roommate REFUSED to talk to her about it, refused to unlock the door to let anyone in, and said something along the lines of "he's not leaving" and "t

    Finally, the person in charge of the whole dormitory talked sense into her and she unlocked the door. However, both of the students (my roommate and her "boyfriend") got to stay another few days until residential life found another room for her on a completely different floor. At the end, I think he lived there for over two weeks "full time" before they were kicked out and that's not including all the times he spent there before this.

    Granted, this is a girl away from home for the first time and I think all the freedom went to her head and she started making stupid decisions, like not waking up for classes on time, smoking (possibly harder stuff then cigarettes), possibly drinking, etc. and possibly a lot more then I ever heard about or was told. Last I heard, she had flunked her first semester there, was flunking the second semester as well and her parents had been contacted to come pick her up before the semester was over.

    Evie7560 OP • 1d ago Nobody in my house was good with confrontation and just wanted to keep the peace with the one he was dating. If I hadn't gone to my housemates in the end he would have taken advantage of us longer. In hindsight I wish we had tried to get rid of him sooner. ↑ 56 Reply ↑ Share No_Proposal7628 • 17h ago Good for the three of you to decide to kick his entitled to the curb.
