The original poster (OP) is facing a significant emotional conflict: she feels a sense of obligation to prevent her boyfriend from becoming homeless after his parents evicted him, yet she is strongly hesitant to allow him to move in.
Her reluctance stems from practical concerns regarding shared living space with an introverted roommate, the boyfriend's uns**ble financial situation which suggests he cannot afford his share of the expenses, and her own lack of deep commitment to the two-month-old relationship.
Given the boyfriend's lack of preparation and the immediate strain his presence would place on the OP's living arrangement and financial goals, the core question remains: Is the OP justified in prioritizing her s**bility, her roommate's comfort, and her financial future by declining to house her boyfriend, even if it means he faces immediate homelessness, or does the short duration of the relationship absolve her of responsibility for his housing crisis?
