What would you do?

I checked the calendar to make sure that all my roommates were off of work and, hence, gone. I said, OK, come down Monday and he came. Something about celebrating my birthday week together. Then, surprise! One of my roommates announces that she will be back that night because she managed to pick up an extra trip starting on Tuesday morning.

No big deal, I thought. We can give her a ride back from the airport and then make ourselves scarce around the apartment. No deal. She said that she and her husband feel "very uncomfortable" about her staying in the apartment with another man there.

....uuhhhhhh, OK...... What does she think is going to happen?

So she says that she will just stay in a hotel that night.

....Aint nobody got $$ for that, I think. Plus, she pays to be here. I don't want to loose her as a roommate. Another flight attendant friend of ours that lives down the street offered to put her up. No deal. I feel like a shithead.

I see her the next day in the airport and she pulls me aside to let me know that she isn't mad at me, but "if he is going to be staying over a lot, I'm going to need to find somewhere else to live because I can't afford to stay in hotels."

"Is it just because he is a guy," I ask, "would it help if we slept separately or something?"

"No, its just not fair to my husband and I that a man would be around. Its just that he is a guy."

Conclusion-- so what, I either:

1) Can't have a boyfriend, my brother, father or 1/2 of my friends over in MY OWN HOUSE

-OR-

2) can't afford to cover the rent
