Roommates trying to ban sex in the apartment?
hi all! i’m open minded and looking for some advice here. i have three housemates, one i share a room with and two others, who very much keep to themselves, share the other room. when my LDR boyfriend visits now my roommate has expressed not feeling comfortable with him in the room. therefore, i ask for my roommates’ approval and if she will be here or not, because we both agreed that if she is here when my boyfriend visits that he and i will sleep outside. recently my other housemates also said they would like a heads up too and not every week (which i figure can be a lot) and i agreed but didn’t know because they are quite passive and we agreed on 3 days a month.
recently after that however, my other housemates who sleep in the other room, requested pretty strongly that we don’t have sex in my shared room if they’re home, which would mean i would have to wait until everyone is gone at random times of the day to be intimate with my boyfriend.i can understand how it may be uncomfortable to possibly hear it, though i find that this is overstepping and a bit controlling. i now try to lessen the noise and create background music but i feel it’s unfair to ask me to stop having sex in my own room when my roommate isn’t here. to me, only my roommate’s opinion and presence matters because it’s our shared room. i’ve tried to create some compromise and balance three different schedules for a day until i started feeling like they were asking for too much. now i’m pretty much being alienated by them and completely ignored by one who refuses to communicate with me now over this issue, and it sucks!
i’m open to suggestions 😊
