My roommate has recently got a boyfriend that I don't exactly care for.. they are always here at the house and I basically hide in my bedroom to avoid being a 3rd wheel. The thing that is bugging me is that we both go halfers on groceries, and yet he is over all the time for supper and breakfast. I don't really want to pay for him to eat. Is it reasonable to want him to chip in for groceries if he is going to be eating them all the time? Also, he brings his daughter over (not my roommates kid) and I just think it is weird.. I like kids, but don't exactly wanting them running around the house (our place isn't a damn daycare)... are these things that I should just get over? or should I talk to my roommate about it? If you think I should talk to her, can you give me ideas about what to say? Thanks.

About the groceries, I once had the same problem with my roomie. We ended up getting our own groceries. It works better that way. But you should defenitely talk about this with your room mate. It is unfair for you to be barricaded in your room just to avoid being the '3rd wheel'.
Meanwhile, you might also want to start looking out for a new place and a new room mate. Once you've spoken to her, she might get defensive and things may go downhill from there on.
From what i can understand, there are too many things going wrong at this point. So talk it over, but be ready to get a new place.
Good luck

You might win on the food situation, but you're going to lose on the child. If this looks like a longterm relationship, I'd move out. What's the point if you're so uncomfortable you're hiding in your room?

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect him or her to contribute for the food. The kid part isn't going to go away unless he does, so that part you'll have to accept or move yourself.
