It’s important to set boundaries. Unfortunately many won’t agree with them.

Check out why this roommate is not living in harmony with a person she lives with.

AITA for not letting my roommate borrow my clothes anymore?

I live with a roommate who constantly borrows my clothes without asking,

Sometimes she stretches them out or doesn’t return them until I ask for them back.

Then the inevitable happened.

Last week she wore one of my dresses to a party and it got torn.

She apologized and offered to replace it, I told her not to worry and that I don’t want her borrowing my stuff anymore.

But that replaced one problem with another.

She got really defensive and saying I was “overreacting” and that “sharing is part of being roommates.”

Now things are tense in the apartment and a mutual friend thinks I was “too harsh.”

AITA for setting that boundary?

Here is what people are talking about.

Duh! What a piece of work she is.

Sounds drastic, but necessary.

It’s not a weird concept.

Maybe put an alarm in your room, too.
