So basically this is a rant about my extended family; ie. roommates, or I should say one of my roommates. He has said somethings to me and a few of my friends that have been very hurtful (for example... he called me a slut after I met a guy a party and with this guy all I did was talk to him and drink some of his beer... Then a week later my roommate told my friend over msn, not to go on a first date because the guy was going to be a total asshole, and my poor friend was kinda hurt and discouraged by this, especially since she had been waiting for several weeks to go on this date.) And my roommate always has to be right and he'll step on anyone to look superior. The worst part is that he told my cousin, that he has a crush on me... If he is home and my good roommate isn't, I either lock my bedroom door or leave for a couple of hours, because I can't handle facing him in a conversation, because he always subconciously wants to shut everyone else down. And his dishwashing skills are horrendous! Both my other roommate and I have confronted him about this several times and he gets all defensive and tells us all our flaws... Aside from giving him a nice kick in the balls... what can I do (other than move out) to survive this last month with him and still focus on exams.
Just avoid him! I had a roommate like that and let me tell you, avoiding them is the best! Don't confront because it could get violent or something. Hate to say it but head to the library for exams, I know it is your place just as much as thiers but this guy sounds like a real ass who could potentially flip the fuck out on you. If you really feel the need to say something to him, calmly talk to him and say I feel this way instead of getting down on him. Point out things that would make living there better for everyone. I hope everything works out
Ah thank you for you advice Hiro! Ironically, earlier this year when he was at his worse, I made a trip down to Ann Arbor. Best trip ever.
Hung out with some cool people, drank some Samuel Adams, counted Frat and Sorority houses and relaxed.
A bad roomy is like an infectious boil. sooner or later you are just gonna have to deal with it. I say save yourself some pain and deal with it sooner. Is his name on the lease. Find a back up roomy and then kinda ease him out. You know hey this is kim she is just gonna crash here for a bit then you know the next time he gets out of hand you just pack him up while he's at work.
