We are two in a room and sleep on a bunk bed. Mine is the down bed and hers is the top one. She’s the one in a relationship so the guy comes around every day. When he comes, I try to leave the room to give them privacy. It was something I did willingly because I felt she would have done the same for me. The problem now is, that whenever I excuse them, they have sex on my bed.

I come to sleep and smell them on my pillow and my sheets. I don’t know how they do it but I always see patches of liquid in my bed after they had gone. I didn’t complain at first. I silently took off the bed sheet and washed it. When it became a daily thing, I talked to her like a friend, “Please stop using my bed. I don’t like how it feels afterwards.”

She said sorry and nothing else but didn’t change. They will use my bed and dress it so I wouldn’t know they had used it. I still could smell them. Once in a while, my skin fell into the patches of liquid. Again, I addressed the issue. She got angry and screamed, “Tell me I shouldn’t bring him here again. Are we goats that always leave a scent in your bed? What’s that?”

So the next time the guy came in, I took my mattress, folded it, and left with it. He saw me leaving with it and might have felt some way. When I came back, he asked why. I answered, “Nothing. I just don’t want trouble.” My roommate jumped in, “Don’t talk to that dog. She thinks she can be petty. I know how to be pettier.”

Several weeks later, she apologized to me for calling me a dog and pleaded with me to forgive everything that happened so we could go back to the way we used to be. I was ready to forgive until I heard the guy had left her. I feel her apology isn’t genuine. She’s only apologizing because the guy left her and she needs a friend.

Will I be right if I don’t forgive her or allow her back into my life again?
