roommate problems last modified: Saturday, October 22, 2005 (12:05:28 AM) I imagine when everyone was in college they had roommate problems, but my rommate is weird. He doesn't really contribute in buying food and is really cheap, but has a lot to saw about other things. My boyfriend threw up on a bathmat and I replaced it with one of similar quality but he thinks it "doesn't feel right" and he complains that my boyfriend spends too much time here when hes always in my room when he is here. My other rommate is pretty easy going and we agree that hes being too unreasonable, but it's difficult to talk to him without attacking him. Oh well, I'm trying to think of a way to talk to him, but I don't want to be rude and I don't want to upset him because we'll be rooming together for a while more. Any suggestions?

I think the simplest way is to be direct and tell him that you feel he''s being unreasonable about minor issues. Ask him if he feels there is something you could be doing differently, and then tell him what you think *he* could do to improve the situation. I had my fair share of weirdo roomies in college, but usually tensions can be smoothed over. Perhaps you can start going over to your boyfriend''s place more often?
So glad I''m married! XD If my roomie gives me trouble, I just give it back with both barrels! ~_^
I''m with Leah! LOL... well, I''m not officially married yet, but same rules apply. I too had some oddball roomies in college - and I think Miss Z has got it - be direct and simple - and as nice as possible about it, if you''re worried about stirring up trouble. These sort of things can usually be resolved if you talk them out calmly and reasonably.
while i can''t say i have had any totaly weird or unreasonable roomates i can say there have been the occaional, grinding of nerves. talking about what the isue is and giving ideas of what could be done to ease the rough patches, plus giving them an oppertunity to air any of their geivences helped. sometimes issues turned out to be something completely difrent it was just an outlet for other problems in life. I hope it gets better and no names on things and tape down rooms like on tv shows dosn''t work (well at least in my experiance) |
