No empathy

Today, it's been a week since I was dumped. I planned to stay at my apartment, cry, and eat chocolate in peace. My roommate decided to have loud sex with her boyfriend in the apartment. She refused to quiet down, saying, "My body, my rules." FML

"My half the rent check, my rules too"

Just say "my body, my rules" back at her and stand in their room, or sit!

At first I thought it said,"Its been a week since I had a dump." Damn now THAT would be a tragedy!

Sorry but why should she not have fun loud sex with her bf just because you got dumped... Not her fault and honestly it's not really fair of you to want her to not.... Just because something ba happens to you doesn't mean everyone else's life has to stop

Yes but its a shitty thing to do. It wouldn't kill her to not do it one time or at least not do it so loudly. It doesn't benefit you in any way to help out someone whos been dumped but you do it because...you're not an arsehole?? Don't know how its hard to understand being considerate.

You're right that she didn't technically have to. But even so, it would have been a kind gesture to realize OP was upset and at least try not to be so loud in that one instance. When you live with someone else, it's their home too - not just yours; so you shouldn't disturb them by making an excessive amount of noise (regardless if it's sex or something else.) Have some common courtesy.

To me the problem isn't that she's having sex or even whether op got dumped or not. To me the problem is that she's making a lot of noise, has been asked to quiet down, and isn't. When you live with someone and are both paying the rent, it's common curtesy to not make a lot of noise or to quiet down when your roommate asks you too. It would be the same situation to me if op was studying for a test and the roommate was blaring her music really loud. Think of how you want to be treated and treat other people the same way. Common curtesy.

I would have blasted loud music. Or called the police for a noise disturbance. She doesn't need to know it was you who called.

Well, there's nothing wrong with watching them have sex next time...at least, until it gets uncomfortable for your roommate. lol

I remember my first roommate would throw a tantrum if I so much as threw a whispy moan, but she'd be as loud as she could when having sex. Not saying that's OP's case, but sometimes, people aren't so self aware. Maybe your sex made her uncomfortable too?

It's not very nice, but she does have the right to do that, you can't stop her

Know what you do now, OP? Next time she needs a quiet environment, blast and sing along to Friday by Rebecca Black on repeat. When she confronts you and demands that you turn it down/off, smirk at her and say "What was it you told me when I asked you to quiet down? Oh, that's right! My body, my rules."

I'm sorry, OP. Your roommate should be way more considerate and save the noise for when you aren't home. Turn on some loud music or a movie and hopefully that will drown them out. In the future, I suggest finding a place with thicker walls.
