Getting ready to move...(warning, long rant)

[Lumps]

Roommates are for college students, not grown men.

Time to grow up.

Really a stupid, small minded comment. Roommates are a great way to meet people, have a helping hand in life, serve as security in crap areas and above all else save thousands of dollars. Clearly you're an ignorant individual who has not lived in many major cities (Charlotte doesn't count) were roommates are beneficial and in many cases necessary. Having 7k+ more in your bank account is hardly immature, on the contrary. In fact I've done it for years even though I could live alone and because I have, I'll be buying my own house, a house I want, soon where I want to live.

The issue is choosing a good roommate. Don't chose drama and be smart about it. The best roommates are business roommates. You're both there to save money, you know each other not as friends, but through respect.

As far as your situation...from a buisness perspective, most roommates who have the master pay more rent. It makes it simple and is what most people do. If that's not the case, flip a coin.

You need a new roommate. He sounds like he is flip flopping, and being that crazy emotional over a girl is a clear sign he is insecure and unstable. This is clearly not a professional/buisness only relationship. Since he is on the lease and you're stuck, my advice is to flip a coin for the room, that can't be argued fair or not, it's chance.

Also stop getting personal with your roommate and create a more professional relationship with them based on respect. Things will go much smoother. Stop choosing friends, ex's, girlfriends you're not serious with, and people you think are 'cool' to be your roommate and choose someone respectful, level headed and neutral.

Ask Delhommey if he's got a couch? (he still lives in Austin, right?)

 

Hahaha I dunno...we watched a few Panthers games a few years ago but I haven't heard from him in a long while

I'm stuck with him for at least another year.  I was in a tough spot having to find a place on short notice in a tough time or year in Austin.  We just got through with SXSW and good luck trying to find a place and move during that clusterfug.  I think it's clear neither of us want to live together again but neither of us really had another option.  I'm hoping by next year I'm in a better place financially to live on my own.  The house we're moving to is on a semi-busy street in a not so great neighborhood so I doubt I end up living there more than a year.

Believe me I wouldn't live with his ass anymore if I had the means to live by myself. I had 30 days to figure something out, and unless I took a temp sublet with some random craig's list people (yuck) it was either live with him again, or get my own place and pay an arm and a leg to live in a closet.

You make it very difficult to make jokes.

I do have a closet for rent but I have 18 plants in there.

Good because I'm the one that makes them

How am I the one engaging in BS drama? I didn't do anything to cause this. This is a bit more serious than high school drama considering you need to have a roof over your head and I'm on a deadline.

you do sound like a bit of a drama queen dude

We could be this way but look at the real problem. My fiance spilled my wine

What about Albert though?

Deleted facepages. Most adult decision I ever made.

[thefuzz]

Why not just sit down with him and get to the bottom of it.

 

Also, if you have the master, you pay more rent.
