I (23F) live in a one-bedroom apartment in the city, and I work a 9–6 corporate job that’s been really draining lately. I’m usually in bed by 10 because I have a long commute and a manager who micromanages everything I do.
This past weekend, my friend “Lena” (24F) invited me out with a few people for drinks and dancing. I said I’d come for a bit but couldn’t stay out super late since I had to be up early Monday for a project deadline.
Around 1:30am, I was home and already in bed when Lena texted me saying she’d missed her last train and asked if she could crash at mine. She lives in the suburbs and would’ve had to wait until 5:30am for the next train. I didn’t respond immediately because I was half-asleep and honestly didn’t want to deal with someone stumbling in at 2am, making noise, and crashing on my tiny couch. I just let the text sit and went back to sleep.
The next day she sent a passive-aggressive message like: “Thanks for the help last night. Good to know where we stand lol.”
Now she’s being cold with me and told some friends I left her stranded. I get that it sucked for her, but I also didn’t sign up to be a backup plan at 2am. AITA for prioritizing my sleep and not answering?
