Roommate problems who hasnt had them?
According to Georgetown University, one-third of college studentsreporthaving problems with theirroommates.
Thats what happened tothis womanwhen she offered a friend to stay at her place for free.
Bored Pandareached out to the woman who shared this story,u/RoommateMovingOut.
She also told us the friends name, but asked us not to publicize it.
We are both graduate students but at different universities.
I met him through a mutual friend she has known him since elementary school.
I found him in particular funny.
He had a self-deprecating sense of humor, but he was also sweet and quick with compliments.
He was often down on himself or down on his luck, but he was not an attention-seeker.
Whereas the friend was struggling, the OP was in a better boat when it came to money.
He hosted in October, and I really felt the high stress of his living situation.
That night ended with him shutting down and shutting us out.
However, she now sees thered flagsshe mightve missed when he was staying in her apartment back in November.
She says he wouldnt communicate as well as she would have liked.
I would have to follow up multiple times and would rarely get a response, u/RoommateMovingOut recalls.
And the few times I tried calling him, he made an excuse that he couldnt talk.
The call really stressed me out, she admits.
I thought at first I wasbeing pranked.
I almost hung up the phone right away.
The caller was very matter-of-fact and no nonsense.
She seemed annoyed by the situation.
I called my dad right away afterwards, the OP says.
However, she is still very conflicted about taking legal action.
To be completely honest, it doesnt feel balanced.
I feel a giant pit in my stomach when I think about being lied to by someone I trusted.
But Im not convinced that my own hurt is enough to justify ruining his life.
Half the time I feel like He can go to hell!
and the other half I feel like I just want this all to go away.
I dont know if I am there personally, but I can empathize with their pain, she admits.
