First off, I would just like to say Good Evening to everyone! I am new here!

Now here is my issue, it may be a moot point now as I've already taken a significant step, but I'd still like some advice.

Well after dealing with several months of bull, my boyfriend and I finally have the means to move out and get our own place. Main reason is because of our roommate's girlfriend, whom he decided to move in, without letting us know, and also not make her share any of the house expenses, which we also were not aware of.

Other issues:

-With the exception of the last two weeks, she's been unemployed, so she is ALWAYS at the house.

-One day, HER friend stayed over, and I didn't realize that she did until I saw HER friend the next morning, in the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets.

-When we first moved in back in August, our roommate said it was ok for my BF to bring his cats. Once the GF showed up and was around for a while, she took it upon herself to announce that our roommate doesn't like animals. She did this at a mutual friends party, in front of people we didn't know. Of course our roommate tried to save face and say "well its not that I dont like animals" and blah blah blah. It was very awkward and unnecessary for her bring that up in front of mutual friends and other people.

-When me, my BF, and our roommate are at work, she's in the house all day. And now that she's working, she leaves here to go to work. She comes back here when she leaves work. She has a key. I do not know if our roommate didn't think we'd notice the pattern, or maybe he simply didn't care.

-Lastly, the real owner is trying to sell the townhouse we live in. Our roommate did not tell us. My BF found out by overhearing a phone conversation between the owner and our roommate.

And we have had the issue to disappearing food since she arrived and also the cleanliness of the kitchen.

My BF is pretty fed up now, after months of telling him whats REALLY going on. For the record, this girlfriend was non-existent when we moved in. I do not want to live in a place with 4 adults, and only 3 are splitting the expenses. Obviously at the end of the day, our roommate can do what he wants. If he doesn't want to charge his GF rent, fine. But I do not think that is ok when you have roommates that are responsible for sharing the rent, BGE, and cable expenses, and she basically gets to live expense-free. So we decided to leave.

My BF told him today that we are leaving. Roommate didn't seem to care, based of what he said. Whereas my BF is trying to avoid a hostile confrontation(my BF and our roommate have been friends for a number of years), I'm still pretty irritated and I WANT to tell him why we are leaving. I want to tell him that I don't think it's right for him to move in his GF without telling us, and how I think it's wrong that he didn't bother to tell us that the owner is trying to sell the house by August. Should I say anything? I'll admit, I am blunt, straight to the point, and not the most respectful when dealing with folks I'm irritated with.
