Well, here's a possible story. A man's son was about to go to college. His wife was worried about how the son would adapt. One day, the man's college roommate visited. During their conversation, the roommate confessed that he had always been a bit envious of the man's family life. He saw how the man had a loving wife and now a son going off to college, while he had been so focused on his career that he missed out on such family experiences.
My college roommate was always into art. One day, he came to visit. My son was having an art project for school. My roommate saw it and started giving some great tips. My wife, who was also interested in art, joined in. They all worked together on the project. My son was so happy with the end result. It was a unique moment where my college friend's knowledge, my wife's interest, and my son's need came together in a creative way.
One plot could be that the college roommate has a secret that he has been hiding from the son. When he comes to visit the family, he finally confesses to the son in front of the wife. The secret could be that he is from a very poor family and has been ashamed of it. The son, instead of being judgmental, and the wife, are very supportive and this changes the relationship between the roommate and the son for the better.
Well, here's a story. My college roommate once visited me years later when I was married and had a son. He brought a lot of interesting college mementos. My son was really curious about them. My wife was very hospitable and cooked a big dinner for all of us. We sat around the table, and my roommate told my son some funny stories about my college days, like the time I accidentally dyed my hair green for a prank. It was a really warm and memorable time.
It's highly inappropriate. In a normal and healthy society, relationships between family members like a mother and son are based on love and respect within the boundaries of family ethics. Stories that seem to deviate from this, like the one mentioned, have no place in proper communication.
If direct communication doesn't work, involve a mediator. This could be a Resident Advisor in the dorm. They are trained to handle these kinds of roommate disputes. They can listen to both sides and come up with a fair solution. For instance, if one roommate is too noisy and the other is too sensitive to noise, the RA might suggest quiet hours or using headphones.
Once, my roommate thought it would be funny to hide all my left shoes. I was running late for class and couldn't find any of them. When I finally found them in the microwave (of all places), we both had a great laugh.
Once there was a wife named Lily. Her husband got a new job opportunity in a different city. They found a nice apartment to rent. Their roommate was an interracial guy named Tom. At first, Lily was a bit hesitant as she had never lived with someone from a different race before. But Tom was really friendly and respectful. He often cooked delicious food from his culture and shared it with them. Lily and Tom gradually became good friends, and Lily learned a lot about Tom's culture, which broadened her perspective.
Once there was a woman named Lisa. Her husband worked overseas a lot. She decided to rent out a room in their house. A young man named Jamal, who was of a different race, became her roommate. At first, there were some cultural misunderstandings. For example, Jamal liked to play loud music from his culture which Lisa wasn't used to. But over time, they learned about each other's cultures. Jamal taught Lisa some of his traditional dances and Lisa introduced Jamal to her favorite local foods. Eventually, they became good friends and Jamal even helped Lisa around the house when she was feeling down about her husband being away.
One possible story could be that a wife who was really into cooking shared her delicious recipes with her roommate. They would often cook together in the evenings. The wife taught the roommate how to make her special lasagna, and they would have a great time chatting and sharing cooking tips while preparing the meal.
