I wouldn't say anything. Wont change much will it. But then again if I were to say something in a case like that i get kinda..... fiery? And it usually just escalates.
Why not just share Bill's with him and let him live with you?

Stay at your place

Look I love you Taurus but thereās a strange congintive dissonance going on here.
You stay over 50 percent of the week at your exes brothers place with your current bf and you think lifeās just going to happen cos of Taurean entitlement (letās be real now you guys invented mooching) not hating itās an art.
But honestly just think about it.

Right now this isn't an option.
But we have done that in the past when this first occurred back in march.
Why is it not an option? It's your place..click to expand

You should bite your tongue and your bf should move. Realistically the friendship is already toast. Would the landlord have kicked up a fuss if you werenāt the girlfriend? Or did they make an alternative offer like you moving in or contributing to the bills?

Yes I get Corey in these situations too a honestly petty.
They have been kind of jerks to my boyfriend lately about a bunch of things and as friends They have grown apart. So I want to say all that to him.
My boyfriend says "I'm just not doing anyone any favors anymore" but then he's at their beck and call again.
He doesn't wanna live with me until we have been together a year...i have to respect his pace with that and logically ot makes sense. But it would be more beneficial for us...
But it's not really logical to stay there, is it?
I'd say hes wearing out his welcome. It's all well and good that you and him hit it off better than you and his friend, but there will still be some animosity and hurt regardless of if he says it or not. He needs to get away before he destroys the friendship. And has no place to go.
Plus financially it's just more savvy to combine resources.
If you can make it living together for the first year you guys will be rock solid. Its rough at the start, I think that's universal.click to expand

Lol I wish you could tell him this. I've been trying to reason with him about that, but sadly is is very stubborn and bullheaded with it. Come November I won't have a place to go, so I asked if he we can tall about living togther then (8 months into our relationship) his response "1 year. That's final"...so you're going to make me move in with my.mom for 3 months...? šš¤
Let him live and learn then.
Make sure you handle yours though.. then point and laugh EXTREMELY HARD when hes homeless.click to expand

Lol it's gross but both my bf and I aren't big shower people. He can go 3 days. I go every other. And I stop home and shower after work.

I don't think you are quite getting it.
There are 7 days a week, and you are there 3 out of those 7. That means, on a consist basis you are there 43% of the week.
Add to that, but you are dating the friend of an ex, who lives with your ex's brother. Your bf broke the ultimate code of "bros before hos". Which is fine and dandy, but your being there so often, is constantly shoving it in their faces of his "transgression" and inability to be loyal to a friendship that likely came before you were a part of their lives.
Neither of you are taking into account the level of awkwardness that you are putting your ex's brother in. Him allowing you to stay so much, and so often, could easily be seen by your ex, as him being disloyal to his own brother.
All you guys are thinking of is your own comfort, and not how your comfort impacts those around you, and puts added stress on them. Especially given that you have a place of your own, regardless of the excuse you have in terms with the dog.click to expand

I respect your answer.
This is very true. Fyi my ex and I are on good terms, it was a mutual breakup and we hang at the house on occasion. Him and my boyfriend play handball very Saturday while I'm at work. So it isn't as awkward as the family makes it seem.
But yes, I agree with you. We are being a tad selfish I guess, and I can see how the landlord is between a rock and a hard space. As they say blood is thicker than water.
So what do you suggest? Limit our time to 1 day a week...sadly to me that is not sustainable for a relationship.click to expand

Does it make a difference that the landlords gf is there just as much and I know for a fact she doesn't pay rent or bills.
Also he was dating a girl before me and she was there just as much as me and they never made a peep. And I know this because I was around.
Their sister is a good friend of mine btw. So I've been to the house for years.

I can /have a habit of making a fuss in these situations. They why I needed to ask for advice on if this is worht the battle or not.
Youāve got to pick your battles. Is this worth fighting over when there are other choices like moving out or moving in together? What does āwinningā actually look like in this situation? You ultimately want to move out and in together anyway.click to expand

So as some of you may know my sort of odd situation with my significant other. Primarily being he lives in my ex bf's families basement and his best friend (my ex's brother) is his landlord.
We of course have faced a lot of animosity in our relationship, which we totally expected. We even discussed the possibility of his friendship being strained and his living situation being in jeopardy, both risks HE wanted to take.
Skip forward 5 months to present day, eveeything has been fine. We are all getting along eveything seemed to be going smoothly. I've been staying there 3 nights a week. I never shower there, I don't over stay, I don't do laundry. I take a backpack there and leave with it. No way take advantage. (I have my own apartment I pay for). So yesterday my bf gets hit with "hey boots can't stay over here anymore. She's here too much..1x a week"
I'm super frustrated, and it leave a sour taste in my mouth.
My boyfriend says "his house his rules" and I respect that, but I still can't help but be upset and I want to say something.
Maybe I should bite my tongue though.
Btw, my boyfriend did argue it a bit, but he doesn't wanna lose a friendship or step on toes...ugh back to square fu,king one š¢
