I've experienced a similar situation with an old LTR in the past. It's a difficult one, you cannot under any circumstances let her know this worries you as she'll lose respect and ultimately make him seem like more of a worthy prospect than he actually is.

This is a make or break deal for me. A girl worthy of being in a LTR understands that it isn't respectful to foster such a close relationship with another guy outside of the LTR. When you enter into a more formal arrangement like the two of you have, your actions have consequences for your partner. She must understand she has the responsibility now not to cause her boyfriend mental distress with her actions. If she is she's being a shit partner. Put the shoe on the other foot, you sure as shit know that if you moved in with a girl after the LTR began she would be giving you crap about it all day long. She would feel threatened by that situation. Girls arnt stupid she knows this is going to cause problems.

I handled my ex trying to move in with a random guy from spareroom after her flat share with a few other girls fell through pretty well I feel. You can't directly confront her about it, you cannot overtly communicate your feelings here. When my ex brought up the idea of moving in with a random guy I laughed it off and told her she is free to do what she wants but I don't date girls that live with other guys. I then followed that up with getting on with my own shit and withdrawing attention. Her house move if brought up in conversation after that point garnered very little interest from me and another withdrawal of attention. She quickly got the right idea and miraculously found another group of girls to buddy up with (even though this was apparently an impossible task after the first group fell through)

Actions speak louder than words. I caught the situation with her early and managed to put it to bed. I fear yours maybe at a more advanced stage. I would say though it's a clear lack of respect and pushing at boundaries. You are clearly not feeling it and that's something to listen to. Act in your own best interest, don't get walked all over and be strong enough to walk away from a bad deal. You will find another girl she isn't unique that I promise you.

What do you mean followed that up with getting on your own shit and withdrawing attention? Seems like you handled the situation perfectly

[–]Supersubie3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Sorry typed that out on my phone. Meant getting on with my own shit. I was training for a major career change at the time and I just threw myself into studying.

I guess the core message really was demonstrate you don't take shit, that she full well knows is unacceptable and then throw yourself into something that improves you life.

[–]Zanford2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

^ Great post, well handled situ. OP, follow this template.

[–]Senior Endorseddr_warlock0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

There are many listings that say girls only, no excuse for not finding one. It's disrespectful.

[–]yumyumgivemesome0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Very well done. You said just enough, and ultimately it was her own decision. This minimizes any resentment the girl may feel about the decision to back out of those plans.

[–]jaedgy12 points13 points14 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

If the roomate is.... Billy Beta, then slight Concern Chad Thundercock, then next

[–]Senior Endorseddr_warlock3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Proximity like that has a way of generating attraction even if they would never consider sex if they ran into each other as strangers outside the house. If you seen the kind of guys hot girls have fucked on the DL, or their baby daddies, you would be shocked. Skinny, not good looking, confidence is bleh. Nothing special. You would be like, HE got to creampie you, but I could barely get a couple sentences?

Sorry for the poor bastard whom has to meet Tom then Tyronne the same night and hear the party from his room.

What about lysol

[–]The__Tren__Train9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

demote to plate and pursue other plates..

this shit really isn't that hard guys

[–]AlexDD218 points19 points20 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Hopefully the friend is a beta orbiter. If he's an alpha then next her. Watch if her behavior changes or not. This needs more context.

[–]dandar46009 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

He doesn't have to be better, he just has to be different. If an LTR thinks so little of the relationship to move in with another guy you next her.

[–]Westernhagen25 points26 points27 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

NEXT!

[–]meme_poacher6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

If you have an established higher smv than her roommate then no need to worry. Regardless, watch her behavior .

[–]xx-Rain_Maker-xx1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That's not correct. If women are in a comfortable space and know they will not be caught. They'll cheat. Regardless of how high your SMV is.

[–]meme_poacher0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Then what is the point of engaging in an ltr if you always have to keep your woman in check. Don't they have a concept of accountability? Are AW really like that?

[–]jb_trp7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Whether she realizes it or not, she's making a choice about her living situation which ultimately communicates to you that she's not serious LTR material. Downgrade to plate status.

[–]throwitdownman2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Wait, just as a pair? Flag. All women in LTR I know who had moved with male roommates, went in as a group never as a pair. Even the most feminist one would have enough awareness to drag another person in as a sign of ‘let’s just be friends’ / ‘implied boundaries’.

[–]NorthWonder7 points8 points9 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Just broke up with LTR a few days ago (ex now). When I first met her she had male roommates, but she moved back with her mom shortly after meeting her (before she was LTR). In your case, moving in after a relationship with you is already established? HARD NEXT!!

[–]bosshawg5024 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Hardest next that you've ever nexted

[–]quicklogaccount1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Highly sensitive to the context, I'd need more details. The answer reaches from "hard next" to "you're worrying for no reason".

[–]wheresMYsteakAt2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This is true. Has functioning penis = hard next. Eunuch (verified by you) = over reacting.

[–]quicklogaccount0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Lol.

A LOT, and I mean, again, a LOT of guys are thoroughly paternal to some female friends. I don't think I used to see a lot of these while I was younger, most guys crushed on their friends every now and then, but I'd see it sometimes.
Now I see a relevant number of functional men acting paternal and protective rather than having the hots. In such cases I'd only mind if the guy was attractive enough for her to want to game him. Otherwise I doubt these folks might make a case for a guy getting your girlfriend to cheat by outbetaing you.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

LTR, no more.

[–]justicecantakeanap2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Don't make a fuss about it, you will know when you should bail out

[–]Zebleblic1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That's super dangerous.

[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Plan to move out. 90% chance she'll start to exercise control over him and you, and that likely means setting him against you, taking over the house, and plotting your eviction.

And communicate ZERO red pill knowledge. You've been warned.

Seriously, start moving out now. It'll be easier in the long run. You've got 3 months before it gets hard and 6 months before it gets untenable to live there.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I don’t thing OP is living there. Just his girl disrespecting the relationship from afar.

[–]Senior EndorsedMattyAnon0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ah.

His problem then. Men don't listen to red flags from their GF, they aren't going to listen to their friends.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Just let it be and observe. He may be not interested, for sake of rule don’t shit where you it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sounds like you are too broke or haven't known her long enough to be in an LTR

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Girls aren't that important in life to worry about that.

Just next her, you'll forget her on the next one.

[–]redpilledjoe0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Demote to plate instantly. She's HARDCORE testing your resilience. If you are fine with this she will simply keep testing and trying to gain more power in the relationship

[–]ramjaz0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Unless the male friend is gay, then you better get out.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If it’s an LTR you want to keep just tell her no. Leave her if she does it anyway. Simple. She either respects the relationship enough to do the right thing, or she’s not worth a relationship with.
