Guy's Horrible, Lying Roommates Gaslight Him While Destroying Lifelong Friendship

These people are absolute nightmares. This guy's life is unbelievably better off without them a part of it, for going forwards. Good riddance to them.

    Text - I've sat on this story for years but its time. just pure assholery and the end of life-long friendship. A good friend, Jay from was moving to NYC with his GF and another friend of theirs from college Lisa. I had been in NYC for a few years already in crappy but manageable apartment. I traveled a lot for work and I was fine with my situation. Once they realize the rent costs out here, Jay & GF keep pushing for us to get a nicer two- bedroom and we'll split the costs three ways. since they

    Text - I really don't see them much. I'm on the road nearly every week, I get back late Friday night, do my expense reports for work, check in on the bills for the apartment then leave again Sunday afternoon. Jay asks that I let him know the rare week I'm not traveling so he knows GF will not be home alone. I didn't think much of it. For the first few months, the bills were growing and I was paying a little more than i expected but overall, things are fine. until one weekend, GF gives me a note

    Text - me: These aren't my purchases, there is no way I'm paying for them. GF: this is simple math, they aren't mine, they aren't Jays, so they have to be yours. (as I have a folder with all my receipts i keep in a file until get my reimbursement): I was in Boston & Baltimore for all of these bills, there is literally no way of I could have made those calls. GF: I don't care what your papers say, It wasn't me and it wasn't Jay

    Text - GF: I don't care what your papers say, It wasn't me and it wasn't Jay This loop continues for an hour, at which point i politely ask her to leave my room, red in the face show vows I'm paying my share. Jay finally turns up late night. understandably, he takes his GF side and is trying to appeal to me rationally to own up to my side of the deal. I'm showing him dozens of receipts placing me hundreds of miles away and the loop starts all over that it wasn't Jay or GF so it had to be me.

    Text - I lock my door, leave and I meet up with my boss for dinner. again as I travel so much, we try to catch up over dinner & a drink when I'm back in town. I explain the situation and he's thinks something else is going on. He asks if I'm on the lease and I'm not; its just Jay & GF. He advises to keep all my receipts showing where i was if they try to go after me in small claims court but also as I'm not on the lease, I should really consider moving out, he's telling me the situation is only

    Text - That Sunday morning I change my door handle from the generic indoor lock to a keyed lock. the tension is thick as the bill is still not resolved, I don't talk to Jay or GF the rest of the day as they are out and about. Sunday night, I'm in my room, door locked in bed trying to figure out what the hell I'm going to do. then the fun begins;

    Text - note this is extremely important to the story- they don't know I'm still home as I'd normally be on the train to Boston by 5pm. 8pm rolls by and I hear my door jiggle, and GF say, "that SoB changed the lock, YOU MF!!! YOU PoS MF!!!" she is screaming hysterically at the top of her lungs. I'm trying to figure out 1) why is she so angry? 2) why is she trying to open my door? Now I hear Jay trying to open the door and he calmly says to GF that they can just jimmy open the door with a butter k

    Text - reply, "it doesn't matter, I'm paying rent, its my m." they start with the mind games again, "that is really fucked up that you would change the locks." They get really angry and are shouting all sorts of shit for the next few minutes. then the lock to the main door to the apartment opens and in walks Lisa with a suitcase and looks like she's seen a ghost when she sees me. It all comes together, she has been staying in my room when I'm traveling, the bills were hers. I was livid, she had

    Text - lastdazeofgravity 3h wow, and they had the nerve to gaslight you as well 92 Reply Giwithnoe 47m That's what frustrates me the most. Even caught red handed trying to pry open the lock they spin it around. Being an asshole is something. Being an asshole and trying to make you look like it's you the asshole is just another level of malice it's unbelievable.
