But over time, things have gotten tense. I go out maybe 2\u20133 times a month, mostly on weekends.<\/p>\n<p>Living with someone on a different schedule can be like walking a tightrope\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When I come back, I\u2019m very quiet (no overhead lights, minimal noise), and I always try to be respectful. Despite that, my roommate gets annoyed when I come back, even around midnight.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s told me she\u2019s a light sleeper and has early classes every day, and she\u2019s said that coming back around 1\u20132 am on weekends is \u201ctoo late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, I\u2019ve started feeling anxious about going out at all and have even canceled plans to avoid upsetting her. I feel like I\u2019m adjusting my life a lot to keep the peace.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I told her a friend might come visit for a night, and she responded pretty negatively and asked where they\u2019d be staying, which made me feel like I needed permission.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like she needs to get through this year and then find someone else to live with\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This also bothered me because earlier in the year, her boyfriend stayed over and she didn\u2019t ask me at all.<\/p>\n<p>There have also been some weird\/petty moments\u2014like her screenshotting a TikTok I reposted because she thought it was about her and sending it to me saying \u201cnice,\u201d and telling me I remind her of the \u201cCeleste\u201d roommate character in the new Roommates movie (iykyk).<\/p>\n<p>Nobody should have to live like this\u2026<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I feel like I\u2019m walking on eggshells in my own room, but I also understand that being woken up at night can be frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>AITA for still wanting to go out occasionally and have a friend stay over, even though it bothers my roommate?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this story, <a
