    r/AmltheA u/Aitabeki ⚫8h AITA for refusing to move out even though my roommate is 7 months pregnant?
  • 02
    Hi guys, last week my roommate Becca found out she is not only pregnant but seven months along. She texted me that we had to talk today and I had assumed she would be moving out soon for more space when the baby comes. Instead she told me I have to move out to make space for the nursery and her baby daddy to move in.

    I'm on a terrible salary and cannot afford anywhere else to live, plus like she wants me to move out right now so she can prepare for the baby. Even if I wanted to move out now, the apartment rentals in my area are either too expensive or well below living standards so I don't want to move.

    She went absolutely crazy the moment I told her I wouldn't move out, because I'm ruining her motherhood experience by not letting her family live together. I pay rent here and my names on the lease until at least the end of the year. I'm not gonna pull out of the lease and I told her that if she wants her little family together that she should move and I'll find someone to half the cheap rent with.

    That made her start crying and saying how I just want to ruin her life to the point her baby daddy had to console her and tell me to get out of their way already. I've not heard her stop crying since but I think I'm totally valid that I don't want to leave. Aita for not wanting to move out? 7,575 970 D ☑

    Discount_Mithral • 8h Supreme Court Just- [124] NTA. This is a "her" problem, not a "you" problem. She wants the cheap rent for her and her BD. Your name is on the lease, you pay rent, she can't kick you out. However, be prepared for a very uncomfortable living situation from now on. Where does the BD live now? If she wants to move him in, he has a place already. Can she not move in with him? Reply 12.1k

    Aitabeki OP. 8h BD lives with his mom, it's been a bad roommate situation for years but the rent is super cheap for where we live so I've dealt with her. Honestly, I don't even know for sure if she actually is pregnant and just wants me out 5.2k

    Discount_Mithral • 8h Supreme Court Just- [124] If she's "just finding out" she's 7 months pregnant, and isn't showing any signs, I'd be very leery of her telling you the truth. Tell her that if she wants to start a life with him, she can move in with him. Stand firm on this - there's a good chance she's lying to get you to move out. Is there perhaps something you could report her to the landlord about? Is BD staying over a lot? That's usually in violation of a lot of lease agreements. Д 4.9k

    teyyannn 5h • Partassipant [1] I feel like a "I truly doubt it would go this far, but I would like to have on record that I have NO intention of moving out and have full intention of renewing my lease when the time. comes" to the LL is justified. IMO that's not introducing drama, but I guess maybe to another perspective ← 1.2k

    babcock27 • 1h This is perfect, especially if she's been the longer-term renter. He knows her. Let him know there may be some roommate drama but, no matter what he's told, you have no intention of moving at the end of the least.

    Also, give him a heads up on bf and baby. He didn't rent to the boyfriend so he has no right to move in. Your landlord can back you up on that. It also lets him know that you aren't the problem in case she makes something up. Being pregnant doesn't mean you get to kick your roommate out. Lock everything of your into your room, even kitchen things, if you think she might retaliate. And, don't hesitate to call the police if she harasses you at all. NTA ... 50

    Ο ExplanationNo8707 · 7h 1. Seven months pregnant and no baby bump? 2. Baby Daddy still living at home? 3. Baby Daddy spending half his time sleeping in your apartment? 4. Cheap rent?

    Sounds like Baby Daddy hates living with mommy, but can't afford a place of his own. He's got a girlfriend who has a place where he spends most of his time rent free. If they make your life miserable enough they push you out and he moves in with the benefit of rent cheap enough he no longer has to live with mommy. I doubt she's pregnant and he's tired of living at his mom's house. Stay your ground. She can't evict you, your name is on the lease. Is her name on the lease? Who moved into the place

    In any event you'll find out if she's really pregnant before your lease is up at the end of the year. Seven months pregnant and not showing yet? What took her so long to tell you? You'd think she would've told you at least 4 months ago or at least when she decided to keep the baby. It's her who has a need for space, so she should move her little family into their own place and let her deal with paying the landlord when she breaks the lease. Just tell her, "sorry about your luck, but I'm not goin

    scarletnightingale • 7h It is absolutely possible to find out one is pregnant at 7 months, otherwise there wouldn't be a show called "I didn't know I was pregnant". Some people don't show much, or if they are heavy it can mask the bump. It's possible she's lying but probably not because this is a known thing, it's called a cryptic pregnancy. Either way, she doesn't get to demand that OP moves. 160

    Peony-Pony 8h Commander in Cheeks [228] NTA Your roommate is living in a fantasy. In her mind, you'd move out and she'll live happily ever after with her new little family. And your refusal to move out burst her bubble. If she's upset, oh well, the world doesn't revolve around her or her pregnancy. She'll just have to make do until the lease is up or find some place else to live. ← Reply 210
