Roommate’s GF Demands He Stop Sleeping Naked in Own Room

A college guy’s roommate’s girlfriend accidentally walked into his room and saw him sleeping naked. Now she’s demanding he wear clothes to bed in his own private room, and the roommate is purposely barging in to check if he’s complying.

The Original Post

throw away account cause i don’t want my roommate to see this

since i was a teenager i’ve always slept naked. i always get too hot at night and its just generally way more comfortable for me to sleep that way. whenever i leave my room i’m always dressed, or at the very least have shorts or something on if i’m going to/from the shower. my roommate knows this and up to this point has had no problem with it and we always knock on each others doors anyway to be polite.

the issue started when he brought over his girlfriend to stay a couple nights. we all get along pretty well and have all hung out a few times before, but this was the first time she had come over and spent the night. we had all gone out drinking and got home pretty late so once we all walked in we just went straight to sleep. i, of course, went to bed with my usual routine of getting naked and hopping in bed. well, sometime during the night my roommate’s girlfriend needed to use the bathroom, but she didn’t know which room it was. my room and the bathroom are right next to each other and she opened my door by mistake. i have a vague memory of her opening my door, but i was half asleep and when she closed it i went right back to sleep. the next morning i woke up and my roommate and his girlfriend were upset with me because when she walked in she saw everything and she was mad i would sleep naked when a guest was over in the first place. they both said i need to start wearing clothes to sleep since my roommate’s girlfriend is gonna probably be sleeping over more often and it makes her uncomfortable. my argument was that i’m in my own private space away from them and that while i understand it was a mistake, it’s still her fault that she walked in on me sleeping.

its been a few days and my roommate still won’t let it go. i still sleep naked, and now once on purpose he’s walked in on me sleeping just to see if i was naked or not. i don’t really care about him seeing me naked cause we’ve seen each other naked before, but this is getting really out of hand. i don’t think i should have to wear clothes to sleep just because it makes his girlfriend uncomfortable even though i’m in my own private room.

tl;dr my roommate’s girlfriend walked in on me sleeping naked in my own room and now they both want me to start wearing clothes to sleep

edit: to everyone saying i should lock my door or add a lock, i would really like to. unfortunately the place we’re staying at doesn’t want us to change the door handles or anything so i can’t do that. however i am currently looking into ways to stop my door from opening that isn’t like a barricade or that drills into the door/wall

What Reddit Said

Redditors overwhelmingly supported OP’s right to sleep however he wants in his private room. Most commenters were outraged by the girlfriend’s demands. However, they were even more disturbed by the roommate’s behavior afterward.

The top comment pointed out the hypocrisy of demanding no nudity while likely having sex when she visits. Meanwhile, other users focused on the serious privacy violation. In fact, many labeled the roommate’s intentional door-opening as sexual harassment.

The Verdict

The overwhelming consensus: OP is Not the Asshole (NTA). This roommate sleeping naked privacy invasion case highlights clear boundary violations. Reddit agreed that what someone wears in their own bedroom is nobody else’s business, especially when proper door-knocking etiquette already existed. This is classic roommate drama where guests overstep boundaries and privacy violations escalate into harassment.
