Meet our storyteller, a 25-year-old woman who thought she had her living situation all figured out. She and her roommate, also 25, had been sharing a space since May. But then, the unexpected happened: her roommate’s boyfriend started spending more time at their place, and soon, the roommate announced she was pregnant and her boyfriend would be moving in – complete with two cats!

Let’s delve into this intriguing tale of shared living, unexpected surprises, and financial quandaries.
