An Unexpected Exodus: Was it Justified or Just Cold? ❄️

Our ‘Reluctant Hero’ found themselves in a bind. Their roommate, Holly, was not only shirking her share of chores but also banking on them for financial support, especially after becoming pregnant. As Holly’s expectations grew, so did our hero’s discomfort. The solution? A stealthy exit, leaving Holly to fend for herself. Now, with a wave of voicemails and a chorus of friends offering conflicting advice, our hero is left questioning their decision. Was it a necessary act of self-preservation or an act of heartless abandonment? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this… ️
