Input: Background: My roommate (We’ll call him Cole) is a nice guy, but there are a few serious problems I have with him that I tried and failed to resolve. He snores *so* loud, I wear earplugs and noise canceling headphones sleep and every night for several weeks either couldn’t get to sleep for several hours or was woken up and couldn’t get back to sleep. He also smells awful, he’s always cooking very smelly foods in the room and that combines very poorly with his BO and mildewy towel. It got to a point where the first thing everyone noticed upon entering the room was the smell. I brought both of these issues up with him politely numerous times, but it seems like they’re both just out of his control.

So last week I moved into my two best friend’s room as a triple since their third roommate recently dropped out. I’ve been sleeping great and we all get along spectacularly. I didn’t tell Cole at first, but a few days after the move we ran into each other and he asked if I had moved, and I said yeah but just because my friends dorm was in the same building and they had an opening, and that was that. Just to clarify, Cole and I are not friends. We only communicate on things related to our room.


Today I went back to my old room to get a notebook that I forgot there when I moved for a class I had in a few minutes. Two of my old neighbors (we’ll call them Lauren and Alice) stopped me and asked if I moved without telling Cole. Lauren already knew all the reasons why I had moved, Alice did not know. Lauren told me that Cole had stopped by her dorm wondering if I was okay and if she knew why I moved. She didn’t tell him but suggested that I did. I kind of laughed at this and mocked the idea that I tell him I moved because he smells bad. This made her very upset and she got pretty angry at me calling me all sorts of awful names for moving without telling him. Alice jumped on the bandwagon too and started saying “it’s common courtesy” and telling me that I have no respect. They wouldn’t let me get a word in, so I kind of angrily told them that “I’m not gonna talk to you guys about this but thanks for the input” and walked off because I had to get to class.

AITA??
