Roommate is "deciding" to be anorexic..... advice?
1) I don't know how much anyone can actually lose in one month by starving themselves (which is what anorexia does). But she could probably drop 20lbs. The problem is if she eats again, she'll gain it all back almost immediately. 2) Anorexia is serious and can kill you. Please tell her best friend, her mother, and other people who love her and who can help her through this really bad idea. She might be mad that you told those people, but a mad roommate is better than a dead one.
My roommate wants to sleep with me. Any advice?
I recently moved into a house. There are three of us here, and we each have our own bedrooms. One guy has a boyfriend, and I don;t have any issues with them. They're fine. But the other guy, who we'll call "Richard" is irritating. He stares at me, makes little comments here and there, and gets upset when I don't show any interest in his advances. He'll then start arguments over stupid stuff, but I know deep down inside, it's because I won't sleep with him. I don't lead him on or anything. I barely speak to him. I want to live here because it's literally right across the street from the university I'm attending and is the cheapest place in the area, so moving out isn't an option. Any advice on how to deal with somebody who is slowly but surely making your life hell just because you won't sleep with him?
Loud and Annoying Roommate?
Since you say you're "just about ready to stand up for yourself," you may want to take the advice of sucking it up & using headphones, ear plugs, etc. & let it ride.... Until you feel you and your needs and opinions are just as valid as anyone else's, your brand of 'confrontation' will probably lack the punch it needs to work. Maybe try expressing your opinions and needs a little at time until you build your confidence in yourself - when something big comes along, you'll be able to feel good about sticking up for yourself. It's really not about being passive - it's about feeling good about yourself versus others.
College roommates....random or selection? need your advice?
Okay so here's some of the back story: I've never had a roommate before and I'm going to college in the fall somewhere 5 hours away from where I live. I knew no one from my school or anything that's going there, but eventually I found out of a girl who lives nearby and through friends of friends we eventually meet and chatted a little bit. We seemed to have a lot in common the conversation felt kinda forced and awkward. The next morning after meeting this girl, a few weeks ago, I sent her a text basically saying that it was nice to meet her and to let me know if she wanted to consider rooming together next year. Also, the school that I'm going to is a pretty notorious party school. I don't drink or smoke or any of that and don't want to start. I told her this when we met and she seemed to agree. I hadn't heard from her since a few weeks ago when I texted her and she casually replied. But yesterday she texted me saying that she definitely wants to be roommates. It seemed kinda out of the blue. When we talked when we met we both said how we were going to leave of roommates random but didn't want to get stuck with someone annoying or bad or things like that. I've only met this girl once in a group setting that our families were both at. So, I don't really know her...but I know her better than anyone else going to that school. What do you think? Take my chances with this girl, or take my chances with random?
I hooked up with my roommate? ?
I have to agree with the "don't hook up with roommates" advice. Like Olympia Dukakis said in MOONSTRUCK...."Don't **** where you eat." I take it your roommate isn't gay, or isn't admitting he's gay, or was just curious or something? That's the issue? You might try just IGNORING the meanness, and acting normally to the extent you possibly can. Don't refer to the incident, just keep the conversations light and generic and act as though you don't notice his moodiness or anger or annoyance. I sense he doesn't want to talk about or remember or admit to the incident. You'll probably get back on track with him if you take the very same attitude--it never happened! Many people have made the mistake of sleeping with a friend, even without the added gay/straight dynamic. It can be...awkward. If you're good enough friends, though, and both agree that "It never happened" you can often get your relationship back on track. So, keep relating to him normally, ignore the pouting and slamming things about, and eventually, once he realizes that you aren't going to stand up at a party and belllow "ATTENTION...ATTENTION PEOPLE....guess who I schtuped when he was PLASTERED?" and then point and leer at him, he may relax and be friendly with you again. I gather you aren't looking mournfully at him, as though you would like to jump his trampoline again, yes? You ARE trying to get back to a "just friends" place? Like I said--be friendly and not too intense....live your life, date other people, ignore his moodiness, and hopefully the whole business will blow over eventually. Good luck~~~!!!!!
What annoying/irritating things your roommate does? How do you deal with these day-to-day problems?
I was staying in 2bhk along with 4 roommates. We were having MS classes on Saturday. I had been to play football in the morning and came around 11:00 am. By the time I reached with loads of tired, they had locked the room with a key which I didn't have key and left for the class. I was furious and called my roommate. He said that "I cannot come, since I am in middle of the period." Moreover they have done this same kind of scenario frequently, so stepped into the shop and bought a Hacksaw. Broken it and bought a new lock with 1key and asked them to make duplicate 3keys.
Is not having a roommate worth $200 a month?
on $1800 per month $900 is not manageable. Even $700 is not manageable. Whether you like it or not, Realistically the most you can afford in rent is about $550. So unless you can find a place on your own for $550 you are going to have to take on a roomate.
My roommate is annoying and always butting into my business.?
get out of you place as much as possible being around someone 24-7 will just drive you nuts ... for no reason ... the smallest thing will make you snap if you know she's goin be around ... be out tell her once, firmly ... that you appreciate her concern, but she needs to NOT offer you advice on stuff and if you want advice, you will ask the next time she does it ... politely, remind her that it bothers you .. the third time ... ******* snap ... cause there is going to be a third time I work with people like this ... I don't care about your effing cat ... or lawn ... or car ... so I started to lock my office and leave as much I can ... some people are just co-dependent
