Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I live with two guys.  One is 25 and the other is 21.  The younger guy decided that he’s moving out early and is gonna break the lease, but the other roommate and I have to both sign off on him removing himself from the lease, and he has to find someone else to take over his section.

Yesterday he scheduled someone to come over and see the house.  I made sure I would be home so I could meet him.  I have two pets and wanted to make sure they would get along with the guy.  

When the guy showed up though, I got a weird feeling in my gut.  There was nothing really in particular, but if you’re a woman, you like know that gut feeling.  The “this man makes me uncomfortable but I don’t know why” feeling.  That’s what I got off of him.  I keep going in and out of the kitchen because that’s where they are and I’m trying to monitor and the guy mentioned that his 26 year old son lives nearby.  When I heard that I knew I didn’t wanna live with him.  Had I known I would end up living with a 40+ year old man, I never would have signed the lease here.  I feel like it might be hard to any guys reading to understand, but I’m hoping that any women reading this can get why I, a 22 year old gay woman, wouldn’t want to live with a man twice my age.  I had friends over at the time, but after the guy left, I went to my bedroom and just laid down and cried for a bit.  I just got a bad gut feeling and, as I told my friends later, am not sure that I would feel comfortable home alone with him.  I also think I’m entitled to want to live with people somewhere in my age range.

I told my roommate that I’m not signing off on him living with us, but my roommate thinks I’m being unfair because he “works to pay the bills like any of us.”  From his perspective, my roommate just wants to get out of the lease and it’s kind of an asshole move to hold him to the lease.  However, my roommate isn’t the one that will be living with whoever he finds so I think it’s inconsiderate to not even try to consider what the house dynamics will be like after he leaves.  I think my roommate also already told the other guy he could have the room if he passes the background check.  If this person moves in then I’m going to probably try to move so I can live with people closer in age. 

So anyway AITA for not wanting to live with him and not signing off on adding him to the lease?  I feel like maybe I’m holding my roommate hostage, but I also feel like I’m entitled to comfort in my own home.
