Heard my roommate M last night. Need Advice

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by reystronaut, Mar 22, 2018.

  1. Hey,
    So last night as I was journaling, I heard my roommate moaning and saying very explicit sexual things to a woman over the phone. (Our bedrooms share a relatively thin wall.) I'd like to talk to him about it, but I'm very non confrontational, and I have no idea how to bring it up.
    The last thing I want to do is come off as judgmental or ruin our friendship.
    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi my friend,
    I understand this is not helping you to stay clean ofcourse...

    Maybe you can talk with him about some usual things and then mention you heard him clearly doing something like preparing breakfast, droppin a spoon or cleaning his room, and that you
    heard clearly what he was doing. Maybe he will make the link for himself to realise if you hear these "innocent" things, you probably heard him on the phone also ?

    That way you don't have to confront him, and if you're lucky he will not repeat this behavior again, just a thought...

    If he does it again anyway, use a headphone set for music maybe ?
    Good luck buddy !

    Keep moving forward, and please, stay strong !

  3. ^^ Yes great advice from Beamer.

    You could also maybe jokingly say something like "wow, you sounded like you were having an interesting time last night!"

    If he cares about being overheard hopefully he will then stop, otherwise if he doesn't care, maybe you could get moved to a new accommodation?

    This is definitely awkward.

    Personally, I would pray and reflect first.

    If you decide you need to address it, how about this? Wait until you overhear some other conversation that isn't so embarrassing. Then bring THAT up. "Hey, buddy, I hate to say this, but our walls are kind of thin, and I could kind of hear you on the phone with mom last night. I hate saying anything, but I felt like you deserve privacy and all that..."

    Then maybe talk about how each of you can help each other have more privacy.
