It's like a page out of a soap opera. What do I do?

Question

I have a couple of roommates that used to date. They broke up and circumstances forced them to continue to live in my house. They only broke up a month ago. Apparently he was cheating I don't know the whole story. Anyway he asked me if a friend could stay with him because the friend was in a bind. Sure no problem. Turns out this friend was the girl he was cheating on his ex with. So now in the house we have him her and the ex. Each of them wants me to kick the other out. Well financially speaking it would be better to have him stay because he pays more rent. She is a better friend. I have no Idea what to do. Should they work it out among themselves. The new GF lived in ohio so I would be throwing her out to nowhere. Not sure what to do. Any Advise?

Answer 1

well maybe before this decision was made there should have been a pow wow between everyone and then I think you would have discovered that this girl was the girl he cheated with...and what the h**l is wrong with him to put you in the middle of all this...to me he doesn't seem very honest at all, because he certainly wasn't up-front with you about this girl before he moved her in.  With this being said she is not your responsibility, she is his, so you need to have a conversation with him...as for the ex who is also a roommate, doesn't she deserver some respect? sounds to me that the guy her ex is not only disrespecting her but you also, and why you are tolerating this is rediculous.  And if he pays more money and thats what is swaying in your decision making process, I think you need to take a good look at yourself.  Just think about it, he has disrespected you, his ex, your home, put you in the middle, and your worried about the $$$$ .  Either your a good roommate or your just like he is, only you can decide and live with that.  But you certainly owe your other roommate a conversation and an explanation as to why you care more about a complete strangers feelings, and a roommate who has been less than truthful and put you in the middle of things, than you do her or your own feelings.  Frankly I would give him and his g/f there walking papers and start fresh with a new roommate, not saying kick them to the street but give them a 30 day notice, and you and the girl (your recent roommate) interview, this would resolve everything, and show that you do value honesty, and respect...not just for yourself but for others also..good luck

Answer 2

If she's your better friend, you're being a major jerk by not kicking the dude out.  Cheating is WRONG.

Answer 3

Let them work it out by themselves.

Now that I answered your question, can you answer mine please?  Anyone? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 4

Easy. Look after the better friend. Besides, she hasn't exactly had a good time of it lately has she, try putting yourself in her shoes. The couple have each other and if he has more money, should be able to find somewhere to shack up no problem.  

Answer 5

You didn't ask who the friend was beforehand? Anyway, kicking out the first girlfriend in favor of the Ohio-gf is wrong, because the first gf was already living there. Maybe you should not kick out anyone, and let one of them get fed up and move out.
