Yes, truly.

anyway

I can’t wait to live by myself. My roommate is moving out and I’m glad because I can’t deal with living with a person who doesn’t know how to: take out the trash, take out the recycling, put away the dishes, clean up their own messes, buy cleaning products, clean with the cleaning products that I buy, respect keeping common areas clean, basically do anything for the welfare of the apartment that we both live in. I don’t understand. She is older than me and acts like I’m her mother. I don’t wanna do this shit either but GUESS WHAT. ADULTING AIN’T EASY OR FUN MOST OF THE TIME.

In addition to being incompetent at everyday adult tasks, she brought another roommate, her 20 year old brother, into the apartment. That she doesn’t share a room with. Three people. Two bedrooms. One couch. You do the math. I can’t even have guests over because she sleeps on the couch, where would my guests sleep? At the time I agreed to it (even though it wasn’t a question or a conversation) because she was in a rough spot and I figured it would be temporary. Fast forward to a year later, and no signs of him living anywhere else. But she argues that she shouldn’t pay more because the room that she initially moved in to, now her brother’s room, is smaller and they don’t share it????

She was also receiving bill money from him, but didn’t think that maybe I was entitled to a fair share as well. It wasn’t until I approached her about it that she thought maybe, just maybe, we should be splitting the bills evenly????? But like, why is that my fucking responsibility to figure that we should be splitting everything? A decent person would take the initiative to figure that if they bring someone else into the apartment.

So, we’re already cramming 3 people into a two bedroom. It was 4 people for the past month, as her 20-year-old brother’s 19-year-old wife (side note: they married behind her back while he was on a trip to North Carolina recently, and even though she has custody of him he didn’t tell her he planned to get married on this trip) was visiting for an entire month. 

Around this time I became fed up with my roommate and her brother not paying more rent even though there’s two of them, and one of me, and 75% of the apartment is shared (including the couch she sleeps on). I wasn’t even receiving 1/3 of bills from her brother at this time, it was just me and her 50/50. When I confronted her I mentioned that her brother has a guest staying here, and how it’s not fair that he pays not rent, while simultaneously having guests stay here for weeks at a time. She interpreted me asking for more rent from her brother during this period as them “paying to have visitors.” Yikes.

This girl has brought a shit show into my apartment. When I’m here I’m not happy. Then she complains to me that I make people uncomfortable in my own apartment. Maybe that’s because I’m pissed I have to be here with two other people, when I only have the physical space or emotional tolerance to share my personal space, the place I live and should feel comfortable and at ease, with one other person, but you’ve brought an entire other roommate who I literally have NOTHING IN COMMON WITH here for the last year.
