AITA for kicking my roommate out for something that her friend did?
In the fragile balance of shared living, boundaries are meant to be respected, yet they often become battlegrounds for unseen conflicts.
A man’s sanctuary within his own home is shattered not by strangers, but by the careless disregard of a friend invited under his roof—a loud, intrusive presence that tramples over privacy and peace.
As he lies vulnerable in the quiet of his room, seeking solace in solitude, the invisible lines of respect are crossed again, turning his private world into a stage for discomfort and frustration.
The tension between friendship and fairness, between kindness and intrusion, pulses beneath the surface, threatening to boil over in the silence of that Saturday night.

The internet jumped in fast, delivering everything from kind advice to cold truth. It’s a mix of empathy, outrage, and no-nonsense takes.
The original poster (OP) is experiencing significant distress due to a severe violation of personal privacy by their roommate's friend, an incident which the roommate appeared to find amusing.
In response to this boundary breach and a pattern of disrespectful behavior from the friend, the OP has decided to terminate the living arrangement for the roommate, citing immediate discomfort and lack of safety.
The central conflict pits the OP's right to a safe and private home against the roommate's belief that her tenancy rights protect her choice of guests, regardless of their behavior.
The question remains whether the OP's immediate and absolute termination of the living arrangement is a justified response to the highly invasive incident, or if it constitutes an overly harsh reaction given the roommate's partial financial contribution.
