  • I’m not sure what the problem is. If she is effectively your roommate, is paying rent, cooks her own meals, and keeps up with her side of chores, etc. she can be there as often as she wishes. If she’s staying there for free you might have some ground to stand on but at the same time, she’s an adult with her own life. You can request that you guys have some time together but I don’t know that it’s fair or realistic to expect her to do anything she isn’t interested in doing. If you don’t like how she lives her life maybe she isn’t compatible with you as a roommate. But expecting people to…be around…isn’t really a thing. What boundary exactly is she breaking?

    This is why lots of people choose not to have friends as roommates. It doesn’t look how you expect it to and can tarnish the relationship.





  • Did she say why she was upset? Is she worried she’s eating too many? Just that she thought it was a prank and not nice?

    I don’t think you’re an AH, but it does sound like your wife might be insecure about how much chocolate she’s been eating. I’m picturing her telling herself “I’ll let myself eat this much but then I’m back on a diet!” Or something to that effect. Then come to learn you’ve been foiling her plan in the background. Which is also something someone who is insecure about stuff might not want to say: that they are on a diet or worried about eating too much.

    All just a bunch of assuming.
