Redditor Catches Roommate Trying To Force Himself On Girl, But No One In Their Friend Group Is Buying The Story

Roommate relationships are built on trust and shared experiences. So, imagine the horror of witnessing your roommate potentially crossing a line that shakes the very foundations of that trust.

That's exactly what happened when one individual observed his roommate, Paul, in a concerning situation late one night.

Having returned from a night out, our narrator (OP) heard a female voice repeatedly saying, “No.” Peeping through his window, he witnessed Paul and a girl in a situation that was uncomfortable at best.

Paul was insistent on kissing her, holding the girl by her wrists even as she attempted to pull away. Disturbingly, he tried to manipulate the situation using lines like, "Stacy chose you out for me," and the deceptive, "It's my birthday."

OP, shocked and troubled, confronted Paul the next day about what had happened. In order to get Paul to cooperate, he decided to approach the situation with concern rather than aggression. But instead of genuine remorse, Paul became a little too defensive.

Later on, OP confided in another roommate, Rachel, in hopes that she would approach Paul for more clarity on his actions. But Rachel's dismissive response was deeply disheartening. In fact, she defended Paul, stating that sometimes girls say no without actually meaning it.

Now OP is in a dilemma: Is he just overreacting, or is this a clear case of attempted rape that needs to be checkmated before anyone gets hurt?
