When signing a lease for an apartment, it seems a reasonable ask and a fundamental part of the contract to receive an actual room with a door for basic privacy reasons. Apparently, this is not always the case, and some people settle for living conditions that you wouldn't wish upon your Karen coworker. OP convinced her friend to come live with her in a 'cheap' apartment and to pay 50% of the rent, despite giving her friend a bed in the living room. OP said that a divider was a good enough means for privacy, but after a year, her friend realized she could actually afford to live alone in a place where she would have her own room.
OP's friend approached OP and told her she was giving her one month's notice and moving out. OP was furious and felt completely abandoned… but if we're being honest—OP also knew that nobody else in their right mind would rent out a small space in her living room with a divider for 50% of the rent, so she demanded her roommate stay.
