Roommate asking me to move out.
​
I (20f) moved in with my roommates Sarah (24f) and Noah (21m). They were a couple at the time and Sarah was pregnant. I met Noah first because we worked together and met Sarah shortly after. Noah and I hit it off pretty well and became friends quickly. Sarah was pretty standoffish and rarely came with Noah when we would hang out. About two months into knowing them Noah said that Sarah wanted him to ask me if I wanted to move in with them. I said that I obviously didn't believe this was her idea considering I didn't think she liked me at all anyways. The next time we hang out Sarah comes and explains that she thought it'd be good for them to have a roommate so they could save up more money for the baby. I wasn't living in the best place myself so I asked if I could spend a week at their place to see if I liked it and if they actually liked living with me.
Things go well and I move in early February. Noah and I start hanging out a lot more since we live together and Sarah is still being reclusive. She's pregnant and probably going through a lot of hormones, pain, etc, so I stay out of her way and don't force any interactions with her. I let my relationship with her play out like I would when getting a new cat. I leave her alone and let her observe me and come to me when she's ready, thinking that if she got comfortable with me we could be good friends. She and Noah argue a lot over dumb things that could just be resolved with some healthy communication but neither of them ever actually talk to one another unless they're arguing. I stay out of their relationship and don't urge Noah to do anything other than talk to her. I don't have a relationship with Sarah atp so I don't talk to her much.
My birthday was in March and I made plans to go to an aquarium out of state. I invited my friend Cory (28), Noah, and Sarah. Sarah had to work the weekend I decided to go and I couldn't reschedule the day because Cory worked all of the next week. I told Noah to talk to Sarah and make sure she was comfortable with him coming with me for this since it would be so far away. She told him it was fine and that she didn't care. Day before we go Cory has to cancel because he won't have enough money to go, which is fine he's my friend and I understand. So I tell Noah to make sure Sarah is ok if it's only the two of us and if she's not then I'll just cancel the little trip. She again says it's fine and that he can go so we go.
Apparently she was in fact not fine and she did not want him to go but she didn't say that. She got angry and started telling people that he took me on a date for my birthday. They start arguing over me and she says she wants me gone. Early April they get into another big argument because theres a repairman at the house in the morning fixing some structural stuff. She wakes up and tells Noah to tell the repairman to be quiet and Noah is like 'i can't he's just doing his job. It's gonna be loud.' she gathers her things and walks out and starts texting him that he's 'selfish and only cares about himself.' and that 'hes a deadbeat who's going to be a terrible father' and 'she doesn't know why she even tries anymore cause he doesn't care about her'. Noah is visibly upset when I wake up and tells me what's going on, I tell him to talk to her. All in all he breaks up with her because of her texts.
I learn after they break up that the whole time Im living there she's been accusing us of sleeping together. And saying that he's gonna leave her for me to everyone around. She told her family that he invited me to live with them and that she never wanted me around. I start actively avoiding her after learning all of this cause I don't want problems I just want a place to stay yk.
She has the baby in april and things between them are alright at the beginning. She tells her family that she never gets any help around the house and starts lying about how much Noah and I do. Specifically that Noah doesn't help with the baby and leaves her alone to do it herself. Mid May she tells him that she wants to move out of state back to be with her family. They can't come to an agreement over custody and she gets cps involved claiming that Noah is abusive and has tried to snatch the baby from her, which isn't true as I live with them and have never seen or heard him do anything along those lines. Cps does a look through of the house and finds nothing wrong but she tells Noah that he needs to do parenting classes based on evidence they have against him and if not they'll open a case for abuse against him. He does what he's told. Earlier that month when he and her talked about her moving out of state he filed for paternal rights and joint custody so she couldn't leave without him having a say. She files after the caseworker comes for emergency custody.
Court things ensue and now at this point cps has opened an active case towards both of them. Neither can be alone with the baby anymore without supervision so his grandmother and mother are watching them with the baby(a big reason for this is because she lied to the judge on the stand about not smoking anything since she's been pregnant. Which is a lie as I've seen her take hits from her bong and vape since she started breastfeeding). Sarah wants me to move out now more than before and has been telling people I make her uncomfortable. For what? I couldn't tell you because I try not to be in the same room as her for all the lies and rumors she's been spreading since before they broke up. Noah is upset with her demand because I'm the only real thing right now that's stopping her from making full claims of abuse against him to the case worker as I can attest to never seeing or hearing that happen. I also don't want to move because I like where I'm living now and it's the only place I can afford but I don't have a lease with them and the mortgage is in both of their names equally. I don't know if she can force me to leave but I would honestly rather just stay because even now she's still talking about moving out herself and everyone is just telling me to move out until she leaves and then I can come back which is stupid af. I don't want to do all of that when I could just stay and we can just live alongside one another peacefully. I'm thinking about just ignoring it until she actually talks with me about it herself because oh yeah she hasn't told me she wants me to move out. No, she's told literally everyone but me. Moving out for me isn't really an option right now anyways, rent there is 450 including utilities. Everywhere else in my area is 700+ without utilities and I've taken a cut in my hours at work so I definitely can't afford that. I need to move out but I'm just stuck. (There are a lot more details and parts of this that I'm leaving out for length so if you have questions just ask.)
