So I rent a room at a house. With my landlord’s permission my girlfriend moved in with me about a month ago.

My roommates Joe hardly pays the bills on time and is always late on rent. My landlord understands that it’s not my problem and overlooks things.

My girlfriend was helping me budget our utilities and I explained how I often pay the utilities because Joe is late. The utilities are In Joe’s name and she suggested I get them switched in my name and build up the credit.

Joe has also been rubbing her the wrong way because he’s now slacking on chores because she’s there. Like she should do the dishes. After about 3 months of this there’s a huge argument over Joe’s late fees and how we always have to cover his ass. He gets pissed off and says sue me.

My girlfriend said I fucking just might because both of my parents are lawyers. She started running down how small claims work and she has been keeping a text and paper trail on Joe.

She has a great memory and started rolling figures off the top of her head and Joe shuts up and looks scared as shit.

He pulls me aside the next day saying I’m an asshole for not disclosing that her parents are lawyers and he would have acted better. I said nothing has changed? Why does it matter what her parents do. He acted like it was a big deal and he thinks my girlfriend should have never moved in because of that. I said that’s not the issue and the landlord agreed to add her to the lease. Joe has been acting really sus since then saying he might move out because that was important information that I forgot to tell him. WTF.
