It’s only private because you’re not joining him - the living room is a common area and your refusal to go there is what’s making it private. I think your argument should be whether you can also use the couch (alone or together), not that he has private time and you don’t.
You’re going to need to ask. “Hey, could I use living room on Wednesdays to watch my favorite tv show [].” Otherwise, unfair to expect that he can read your mind, even if he’s not being very considerate.
Join him
It’s the living room. What privacy do you want?
You have bf and your own life? Thats a lot. What else are you asking for?
You want joint custody of the couch. It makes sense now.
It’s a common space...I don’t think standard roommate rules call for living room private time
Why don’t you go hangout and watch tv at your boyfriends place if he’s such an Alpha?
I totally understand that it sucks he is a bum chillin on the couch all the time - i have a roommate who does the same. So ive lost the alone time that i used to have in the living room & avoid the room bc i dont like her much. But thats just how it works, unfortunately. A timeline is a silly idea. Feel like you should check your attitude cause this “alpha beta” shit coming from you is dreadful.
If you want private tv time in the living room move into a one bedroom lol wtf
Get on a travel project and leave him to his blankie, until you can get your own place
Pee in the sink
If anything it seems like you’re the beta OP since you’re whining on the internet about sharing a living room instead of just having a conversation with your roommate like an adult
You sound like a nightmare of a roommate... he doesn’t see it as him hogging the living room. He’s using the living room and tv as it is designed and you can easily join him and ask to watch something different. If you want complete privacy then buy a tv for your room. You are insane basically
Why do you want to lay on a couch that’s obviously covered in his dander?
So, you want a time table for the common area? Living room is supposed to be a shared space. There is no privacy. Join him when he is sprawled out on the couch. And, expect him to lurk around when you are snuggling with your bf.
Have you tried talking to him about the situation like a grown up?
Op is like a pampered princess. Wants private living room time.. 😂
DD1 is low key winning this thread
Op clearly has still not been grasping the irony of her alpha/beta posts
