My roommate and I are long time friends and have lived together the last 4 or so years. There’s a laundry list of issues, but this one is the current upset.

My roommate works from home, Monday - Friday. Instead of having her workspace in her bedroom, she insisted on setting it up in the living room— a communal living space. Fine, I didn’t argue much about it about as I understand having seperate living/ work spaces is beneficial. This normally isn’t much of an issue as I work outside the home Monday, Wednesday - Friday. On Tuesdays, I am at home studying as I’m a student, and I stick to my room most of the day so I’m able to get work done. She’s been deciding that on weekends, she’ll sit at her desk in the living room and do video calls with her friends for hours at a time, essentially forcing me to my bedroom to be able to get any school work done. I’d prefer to work from the kitchen table as it’s a better set up for me to work (open concept and our place is very small). Is this reasonable of her to use the living room to conduct her personal calls when she already takes over the living room all freaking week?

Also, when working during the week if she’s on calls etc she gets very upset if I’m cooking/ cleaning/ need to walk behind her so I can access the bathroom etc. Imo you chose to have your desk in a common living space so you shouldn’t expect me to not do life things to spare you.
