Woman doesn't want roommate's friends coming over, so she bans them from 'her' couch.

 I have a roommate we are both F23 we have been living together for a few months. I had another roommate before her but she left when the lease was up so I have been in the apt for a year longer then her. It&rsquo;s a one bedroom apt and since I was there first I have the bedroom and she is in the living room with a privacy screen separating the living room and her &ldquo;bedroom&rdquo;.  When she first moved in I had all the living room furniture already so she didn&rsquo;t have to bring any. Just kitchen stuff and her personal stuff.  Living with her has been ok she has friends over some weekends and they are not the kind of people I would associate with. They haven&rsquo;t done anything but they give off a certain vibe to other people that I don&rsquo;t want to be associated with and honestly I just find them gross and don&rsquo;t trust them. They usually come over for an hour then they go out so I haven&rsquo;t had to put up with them much.  Last weekend she told me she was having the same friends over but they were gonna spend the night in and hangout and order in some food and asked me if I wanted to join.  I was mad because fine if they are going to come over to hang out before going out but to have to deal with these gross people for a whole night was not something I wanted to deal with in my own home. I don&rsquo;t want them using my things.  I told her she was free to have her friends over but they couldn&rsquo;t use any of my stuff including couch, tv, kitchen table anything that I bought. We got in an argument about it and she ended up leaving and going out with her friends anyway.  She came home yesterday afternoon and now everything has been awkward and she hasn&rsquo;t said a word to me. But it&rsquo;s my stuff and I&rsquo;m being nice enough to let her have these people over I don&rsquo;t think I need to let them use my things too. Maybe if she is mad she should get better friends.
