    My girlfriends in college up in Donegal and living with 4 housemates one is her friend the others don't really talk to her. If she walks into the sitting room they look her up and down as if to say why are you here...But anyways they have a problem with me coming down the odd time... I don't understand why though I pay for my own food, I throw my girlfriend money for bills and clean up after myself I understand it's there home like and have to do my bits... I came down this week on the Tuesday because it was her birthday and we were going for dinner. I'm not really in there way either as when I'm in the house I do be in the room most of the time at the evenings and do be out during the day, only time im in the kitchen or in the way is when we're making food.

    This is most women behave. Women are disgusting to one another and then somehow find a way to blame it on men.

    Could be sexual tension. Let them know you're up for the tag team.

    They're just mad jealous that she has a boyfriend and is getting the sexytime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,733 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    If she's 'up' in Donegal, how can you 'come down' to her?

    Something very fishy about all this.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    Dude...they looked her up and down. Enough said. Get her out of there and call the cops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,733 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Sounds like they have a problem with her, and then you by extension.

    If they have their own friends around, what's the problem? Is the girl who is her friend also getting along with the other two? Can she shed any light on what's wrong? Was there some agreement about nobody staying overnight or something?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,570 ✭✭✭HensVassal


    Break something in the house before you leave. Something that's easily fixable (by you, but not by them).
    When they call you for help, you rock on up, sort it out and save the day. After that they'll appreciate you a bit more.

    I imagine that this what watching Hollyoaks is like.

    Donegal, by definition, IS fishy.

    try and make friends with them, earn their trust and then BAM the ole fork in the eye

    Good idea. The heating, immersion or hair dryer would be good candidates here.

    Yeah I don't know it's weird like my girlfriend is pretty shy so she finds it hard at times and they always comment that she's quiet that's the only problem they have I think. The girl just told my girlfriend that they think I'm there too much and they want to talk to her, The other girl said she has no problem with me there...They don't have any agreement whatsoever during freshers week they all had people down.

    @HensVassal one of them asked me to get rid of a spider out of their room, they were being d1cks the whole day so I just said no...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,767 ✭✭✭GingerLily


    Why did you not get rid of the spider? That was f***ing stupid

    Yep, when they wake up to cold showers and are miserable...he comes back and tops up the water pressure in the boiler that he drained.

    Toilet is another sabotage goodie. Crack open the cistern and break the chain that connects the plug to the handle. Adios flushing!

    They'll have to use buckets to flush out their piss and dumps until our OP comes back, replaces the "worn out" chain and saves the highly embarrassed and grateful hags.

    Boring answer alert:not everyone in house shares appreciates having couples or boinking overnight guests on their floor.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Perhaps your notion of being there occasionally is not the same as theirs. Maybe, you should pay towards food etc. if you are there regularly. Unfortunately we can't read their minds to see what is annoying them. Have you, or she, ever just asked them if there is a problem.


    And, you should have got rid of the spider.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,643 ✭✭✭R.D. aka MR.D


    How often are you there? That's the real question. If it's only once a month then it's not a big deal but if you are down every single week then I can see why it's a problem.

    I shared with other girls in college and having anyone unfamiliar in the house was annoying especially if they were guys. You can't relax and enjoy your own home, even things as simple as not wanting have your knickers hanging on the clothes horse can make it a pain.

    Get your GF to release a spider or two a couple of days before you arrive. You sort it out.

    Escalate to rats if necessary to really win them over.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    Burn them with piss, then blast their house down?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,767 ✭✭✭GingerLily


    So you give your girlfriend money for her bills......does she give this to her housemates?

    You aren't entitled to be there so I'd try be nice to the housemates.

    You have no RIGHT to be there so yes I think you're WRONG to assume you do.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    Jokes aside, bribe them. You don't go visiting without a bottle in your hand. Bring booze and chocolate, and thank them for putting up with you. I'm sure you're lovely, but you know what I mean.

    And for gods sake, put the toilet seat down. ;-D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Why not take the bull by the horns and ask them what their problem is. Girls can be right nasty little bitches but usually cower away if confronted about it. Ask them out straight what the problem is and tell them that your not going to accept them being nasty to your girlfriend when your not there for no other reason other than they're spoilt little bitches who think they can treat others however they like.

    When it comes to you staying over, how often is the odd time?

    Do the other girls act hostile to her or is it a case of her building something up into more than it is, due to them not knowing each other/your girlfriend not having much dealings with them?

    What might be their reason for being standoffish with her? (Not that that's usually an excusable way to behave).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,168 ✭✭✭Ursus Horribilis


    It sounds like a miserable place to live even without you in the picture. Can she not move?

    After use, makes a bit of a mess if done prior to use.

    Ooooooh, looks like someone needs a blow job!

    Speaking as a man, there's never really a time when you don't, even mid blow job oddly enough.

    Bring over a 16-pack of good quality toilet paper and give it to them. It's an odd present, but its pretty practical. Everyone uses toilet paper.

    Just do the McMahon walk next time you both walk in together. Problem solved.

    Golden opportunity to get in their good books and you told them to **** off. Well done.

    It sounds like your girlfriend needs to move as there are clearly issues between her and her house"mates." It is reckoned that 50% of house/flat shares don't work out. I was there myself at one stage.

    While you where there did you ask the housemates what was their problem with OP's GF?

    Why yes. Yes I did. And they told me that they were all jealous of her for having such a hot BF. But he wouldn't get rid of spiders. The cad!:rolleyes:
