This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human. Boyfriend abandons his girlfriend and then demands a room in her house and it gets so much creepier. Man, you got the audacity. The audacity. The entitlement. Yeah, I want to break up, but can I still nab that room that we were in? Actually, you know what? Like, we shouldn't keep going, but why don't you just give me your house?

I mean, it's like dirty. You got to clean it all the time. I'll clean it for you. What a kind, generous king. Wow. Stand up guy. This isn't my ex, but my best friend's ex. She, the best friend and I have been friends for years and live together now. And now we live with my parents who adore her like her own daughter. And I got her permission to post about this. So I guess we have permission

to read it to you. Yep. My friend 30 female came to the U.S. from Latin America at 19 as a student.

She also started dating her ex, 29 male, after many years of hanging with each other both during vacations and online.

I knew them both since high school and they seemed good together. She tried to convince him to move

together a few years before their breakup. He was living with his parents who wanted him to leave.

Nice. And what? They would have been like 30 or I guess maybe late 20s. At this point, she had already finished college and had a job in the U.S. that granted her a visa. He had to quit college and work part time. From what I can gather, he didn't want to leave because his parents' place had free food and no rent. Never move out, bro. I think I'm sensing a pattern. So instead, she asked me if I wanted to move with her so we could afford a bigger place.

I said, bro. I think I'm sensing a pattern. So instead, she asked me if I wanted to move with her so we could afford a bigger place. I said, yes. And we moved together, adopted a cat and a dog, and pretty much became Grace and Frankie. Around the start of the pandemic, things got bad for them. This is what I was told and what I saw. They never talked or hung out or anything. I was in a

breakup at the time myself, so I wasn't really on top of it since I had my own issues, but my

friend cried so much. She didn't even get a happy birthday. Dang, from her own boyfriend.

Yikes. Dang. After a year of no contact, she assumed the relationship was over.

After a year, there was no clarity on that.

Sorry, babe.

I was so busy trying to lock down this free rent and free food.

So busy living with my parents, having everything taken care for me.

I was hanging with my mom.

Babe, do you want me to disrespect my mom by answering your text? My own mother? Wow. She changed all her social media to single, which after a year, but also like, who does that anymore? Do people still do that? Oh, yeah, true. What Facebook is the only place with a relationship status? Yeah, dude.

I haven't updated my relationship status in ages. Maybe that's why my last relationship fell apart.

I didn't make it Facebook official. Dude, lock it in, baby. Yeah. All right. Which he could see.

So he saw that she was single, took him off her emergency contacts at work and at her doctors and just moved on with her life. This year, my stepdad's health has gone downhill and my mom needs help caring for him. She works full time as a therapist, kind of like us. And I work from home and my job is very flexible. So I put the idea of us all living together and I'll care for my dad. Eventually, I'll care for my mom too. My mom loved the idea and asked my bestie if she wanted to move with us too so we could all be together and also because at this point, I can't see myself not being in the same house as her. That's cute. I like that. It's like me and Christian. My roommate. Great guy. We've come to terms in being single ladies. Heck,

we've joked that one of us should adopt and we just become a parent-a-dynamic. And now the
