Now this isn't the case all the time, Ive had an experience with a good roommate. However my current situation would not fall into this category. This has been a horrible experience maybe some of it should be chalked up to living with a female, maybe its the issue with her moving her boyfriend into the house.
Living with someone else takes patients, it takes an understanding of communication and compromising. There have been times were my roommate makes decision without asking, with the idea that I would be ok with it. This is not always the case, no matter how you feel I will take saving money, not having to share my bathroom with your Boyfriend because his fear of using your bathroom to do his business, is worth the extra amount i would have to spend on a place. Even if you feel like all food is fair game cause you are willing to share, Its not worth living with someone if said person eats all the food you bought. And then the invasion of privacy, my room is off limits. I don't like people going into my room at all, however my roommate feels like this is ok, even though my door is completely shut. And then there is the Icing on the Cake, Having sex with your bedroom door open......NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Here are some rules from my experience to follow when choosing to live with a roommate
- Make Sure You Know The Person You Are Moving In With
- Make Sure You Set Ground Rules From The Beginning (No Random Hookups/One Night Stands)
- Make Sure You Decide If Food/Alcohol is Fair Game
- Make Sure If You Are A Private Person Your Roommate Knows Whats Off Limits
- NO Sex With The Door Open (Read My Previous Post for This Story)
- Make Sure Boyfriend/GirlFriend Know The Ground Rules
Until My Next Post remember, its not worth living frustrated or feel like you are unable to go home because of your roommate. So before you move in make sure you set up some rules for the living arrangement.
