    Just her was enough. Adding her boyfriend without telling you was a bit extra. Random people? nahhh

    Strongly NTA. Don’t pay:don’t play

    NTA, if they want Netflix they should pay for it or contribute to your bill. Sharing with family/friends/roommates is one thing, but you aren’t obligated to share your Netflix with anyone you don’t want to.

    NTA-people have a lot of opinions when they aren’t talking about their own money.

    NTA….Tell roommate she just lost her Netflix privileges. Her, her boyfriend and everyone else they shared your password with can buy their own subscription.

    Change your password.

    Cancel your subscription. Shows you’re making a sacrifice so they can’t call you petty.

    I’ll be petty every time you share something of mine with a stranger ✌️

    I don’t understand how people feel entitled to share things that cost money that someone has been kind enough to share with them. If people want to share with multiple people they can pay for their own account.

    NTA, but your roommate is definitely TA.

    If you don’t know them why do you care if they think you are petty

    NTA, what has happened? People actually believe they are entitled to something you pay for?

    You pay for it. You decide who’s allowed to watch it. She can’t respect that. Then she doesn’t get to use it!.

    She can say you’re being mean she can have all the friends who would have gotten it free. Say you’re being mean. Of course they think you’re being mean dare either too poor or too cheap to pay for it themselves. So they want you to financially support their desires and if you don’t then you’re being mean. But if they had it and you wanted it, you want to bet they’d tell you. Hey, if you don’t have the money, it’s your problem.

    Seriously, I don’t know how people don’t get this and I’m not sure how people they can keep. Think they can keep getting away with it because all of those streaming services are cutting down. On the fact that one person pays for a basic membership and six states away, three other people are using it. They’re not allowing that kind of thing.

    I do think the streaming services need to put a safety measure in for the people who pay the bill so you have a right to see every place it’s been logged in from and you have the right to deny people logging in to use it.

    Change the password and when people come to you, you tell them you know it’s one thing for me to a friend. Use it to watch a program. It’s quite another thing for me to find out that a friend of a friend of a friend is spreading my password around for everyone they know and are related to to use an account I pay for to the point where when I try and log in it says everybody is already watching. You don’t have the right to that’s. When you go in, you change the password log every other device off. Start a new password for just yourself and let people complain. They’re complaining because they feel they’re entitled. Have you support them? It’s absolutely ridiculous. And the only way to solve this problem is to put your foot down and say no. And if they don’t like it, it’s too bad your roommate I can see sharing with you’re both in the same house. Her second cousin’s next door neighbor’s mother-in-law reaches ridiculous and I’m not saying that’s what’s happening to you. I’m saying that people who don’t have to pay for something very easily share the information to look like. They’re being generous to people but they’re not putting the bill. So stop feeling guilty.

    It’s not your job to make other people look generous by using something you pay for.

    Change the password. Ask for a year’s payment in advance. if she wants to share her Netflix that is fine.

    You’re petty for changing YOUR password to YOUR Netflix account that YOU pay. Oh sorry what’s next, you should also pay for their food and rent?

    It’s not your fault that she’s broke and dates someone as broke as her. Tell to raise her fucking standards instead of her voice to question whatever tf you do with your stuff

    I hate entitled people and it’s probably not going to stop there. She thinks she’s right, that’s the worst part. She’ll mess with you to get back at you. Be careful, that kind of person is never going to back off when they’re wrong

    FAKE: yeah it send an email every time someone new logs in. you ignore the emails…

    NTA. Keep passwords to yourself.

    Change the password and stop sharing with her. Your account will likely get canceled.

    NTA you pay for it you can do as you please. If they cant afford netflix between them they have bigger problems.

    One word: gaslighting

    Btw, you’re not the asshole.

    Nope. You pay, you get say.

    This is what you do. Change your password when you do it’ll give you an option that logs out all devices. If you wanna give your roommate your Netflix again you make them leave the room and you type in the info yourself

    NTA. I assume you are both young, college maybe?, and she’s got some lessons to learn about resources and sharing – I certainly did in my 20s. So I’m not gonna call her “unhinged” but yah, you’re NTA.
