I (23F) rent a house with my fiancé (24M). My friend (26F) was trying to leave an abusive situation. After discussing this with my fiancé, we agreed we would let her stay with us rent free until she gets back on her feet.
I wanted to do the right thing. She has no family here (moved out of state to be with her ex). She is a hardworking and great young lady.
I miss my space. I miss being alone. Now, I feel forced to be a friend 24/7. It’s been a month now.
I was cuddling with my fiancé on the couch yesterday. I’ve been struggling with depression. Crying all day. Angry at everything (not related to this). I finally calmed down. I just wanted to spend time with my fiancé. My friend gets home. Comes in there and says “I want my friend right now”- not demanding, just upset.
I pretended not to hear.
I wanted to say “I want alone time with my partner right now”.
I told her this morning that I was bawling my eyes out right before she walked in. I hope she understands I’m human too and have needs that deserve to be met.
My friend is so beautiful and smart and amazing. I love her to pieces. She’s been going through a rough patch, of course.
She wants constant validation. Constant.
I used to be the same way (pre meds and therapy) so I understand to an extent. But I am so tired. I can’t be a friend 24/7.
