“YTA in this case. Your friend was TA the first time around but this time, her ask isn’t unreasonable at all. Five months of notice is way more than most people get when their friends’ lives change. And as someone who has been through their 20s, your friends’ lives can change in an instant and good friends are supportive when that happens. I personally lived with a good friend for three years until he told me he wanted to move in with his girlfriend. It hit me hard in the moment because I enjoyed living with him – we had a great place with reasonable rent and he was the ideal roommate – kept the place neat and fun to hang out with. But his ask wasn’t unreasonable – he gave me a few months to find a new place. And I wanted him to get what he wanted out of life too (he married that girlfriend). I never expected to live with him forever anyways – would have been crazy to expect that. I think you’re holding onto a grudge from the first failed move-in and it’s causing you to make a big deal out of the second time. But you had plenty of time to find a new place without being so reactive and sticking it to your friend financially. Ultimately this seems like a way to tell someone FU and end a friendship. If that’s what you wanted, I guess mission accomplished.”
