A Reddit user we’ll nickname Jack shared a nigh-unbelievable story on the r/AskGayMen subreddit recently, saying that a recent hookup of his boinked his roommate on the same night after the roommate literally scooped the guy up out of Jack’s bed and carried him to his room.
“So have this friend/roommate who just did something wild and [I’m] not sure what to do,” Jack wrote in his post. “I had a guy over for the night, and we were chatting on the couch when my roommate went to shower, and [he] knew we were there. After he was done, he walked across the living room completely naked, like we weren’t there. Later that night, when we were in bed, he comes in, assuming I’m asleep, and whispers something to the guy and then picks him up and carries him to his room.”
Yeah, “something wild” is right!
“It took a while for me to process what happened, and [I] didn’t say or do anything,” Jack added. “I don’t know if [I] should confront him about it or what to do. It was such a d*ck move and was kinda embarrassing. He’s acting like nothing happened and [hasn’t] brought it up… Any ideas or thoughts?”

Commenters “ideas and thoughts” were mostly just outrage toward Jack’s roommate.
“That’s not a friend, and if I [were] you, [I] would confront him about it and look for another roommate,” one person wrote.
That confrontation won’t be easy, though, as another Reddit user posited. “There isn’t a great script for this that will make it not weird, awkward, or tense, because it actually is a weird, awkward, tense situation,” that user said. “Nothing to do but rip the Band-Aid. ‘Hey, roommate, that thing you did with the guy I had over last night, that was incredibly sh*tty. What the hell?’”
Another commenter, meanwhile, pointed out “the real issue” in Jack’s situation: “[The roommate] is coming into your room while you’re f*cking asleep. …It’s f*cking gross on a base level and shows no respect for your privacy or indeed sleep.”
A different user concurred, telling Jack that this roommate is a threat to Jack’s safety. “He did not have consent to enter your room while sleeping. This means you can never ever trust that roommate. Ever. He may go in your room when you are not home. He has no respect for you. When someone doesn’t respect your space or boundaries, they are risky to be around. I would prioritize my safety first. Meaning, this roommate is someone you can no longer live with. I hope you can kick him out or move out. I would immediately install a lock on both sides of the door for your protection. Good luck.”
We’ve heard about sh*tty roommate behavior before—remember that suspected c*ck ring thief?—but this story is certainly a first. (And, we hope, a last.)

This is highly probable. Men — gay, str8, bi, whatever — can be awful. But the “picks him up and carries him to his room” part seems far-fetched. Was he some tiny pocket gay? Anyway, this reminds me of a couple I know who were vacationing w/ a friend & sharing an Airbnb. The friend brought back a hookup to their 2 BR place but later passed out from a night of partying. At that point, the hookup snuck into the couple’s room and told them he was much more into THEM, and they proceeded to have sex. Then he snuck back into their friend’s bed. I found this gross & sad. I’m not a fan of their friend, who’s a bit of an emotional wreck and BASIC in every way. Even so, good friends don’t do that to one another. I lost so much respect for them after hearing this story. I would have kicked that guy out of the room like any decent, self-respecting friend would do.

Whilst the roommate’s behaviour was bad (entering personal space without permission), let’s remember it takes two to tango.
The guy’s bed companion could have declined, but didn’t.
Moral of the story? Ditch both men.

It was a hookup not his boyfriend. No real harm here and I hope everyone had fun.

You sound like a douche.

Agreed and not the first time that someone like this has NOT shared a “hook up” with his roomie…it is just not that important especially if the person said NOTHING while this happened…stunned oh please…he was hoping for a threesome…
Also Reddit, really Queerty…do better…oh wait, this is Queerty…nevermind

American gays seem so prissy & self-centred, uptight & always looking to blame someone. It’s pathetic that some Jack would even write about this non-event.

When did we become so provincial and puritan? It was a hookup who decided to sleep with two guys in one night. Good for him. He’s got a great story to tell for tears to come.
And why is the conversation so awkward for the roommates? The next morning they could’ve easily laughed it off.
I’m so glad that I had my slut days when I did. I’m not sure I’d be able to navigate whatever it is that this next generation considers hookup culture.

For the roommate to feel confident enough to do this makes me think that this living arrangement must have been somewhat unconventional to begin with. Without having a little more back story on these guys living arrangements it’s hard to judge.

Are a hookup and an orgy the same thing? Did Jack’s guest come to the apartment with the intention of getting to know Jack? Or did he come to the apartment to have sex with whomever happened to live there and was game for it?

He was a hookup but since the Jack wasn’t approving of it the roommate is a jerk. If they had an understanding it would be a different story.

I once had a roommate who did this all the time. Didn’t bother me at all. I mean, it was just a hookup, not a boyfriend.
dbmcvey
It obviously did bother this guy so the roommate is a jerk.

Assuming this was real both the roommate and the hookup have to go.
