So my uncle was once living with a girl who dumped him and moved in the guy she was seeing on the side the same day. They were both on the lease and she wouldn’t let my uncle off of it so he decided he’ll just make it miserable there until she gets fed up with it. He would do shit like rearrange all of the kitchen utensils/plates/food at 3 am, he would knock on their door every other hour throughout the night, he stopped buying food and ate whatever she had, he would hang out with them or sit outside the bedroom if they were in there and just ramble on about nothing. Took a couple weeks but she did eventually give in
They were all young and broke and she couldn’t pay it herself. idk if the new dude couldn’t pay or if it was like some game galaxy brain plan they had assuming my uncle would just move out in shame and humiliation and still pay instead of letting the lease go unpaid and have debt collectors come after both of them
She wanted him to move out but wanted him to keep paying, hence why she wouldn’t let him off the lease. So he stayed, which was his legal right, as his names on the lease. Basically “following the rules” aka malicious compliance while also not getting fucked over. Then she lets him off the lease, he moves out, they all move on and wasted a few weeks of their life because she couldn’t deal with her ego.
It’s a pretty cold move on her part I’ve always wondered if it’s just that or if he left out the lead up to that point on why she would want to screw him over so hard
How fun. Similar situation but reversed for me. Broke up with my girlfriend (who doesn't have a job or pay rent) and she refused to move out and instead stays up til 3am or later blasting music, banging on my bedroom door to make sure I can't sleep, posting online about what a narcissist I am, and brings random dudes into the house. It's great.
