i am so over this having a roommate thing
i'm tired of having to tiptoe around during the day because he works nights and sleeps with his door open so his cat can come in and out. his bedroom shares a wall with mine and is about 20 feet away from the couch and he normally sleeps about 10 hours at a stretch.

i'm tired of having so little private time with my boyfriend. because my boyfriend goes into work at 7 every morning, we only have a few hours of private time a night before he goes to bed.

i'm tired of never having the house to myself because if he's not working, he's home. other than the 45 minutes or so between when my boyfriend leaves for work and my roommate gets home, i've had the house to myself for *maybe* four hours since late august.

i'm tired of how he's almost always lurking or looming and not even being able to go outside for a smoke without him following me, even if he had a smoke five minutes earlier.

i certainly won't tell him that he needs to leave the house so i can have some quiet or to not come sit in the living room with my boyfriend and i while we watch tv. this is his house as much as mine and my boyfriend's, but i'm feeling a little bit more aggravated about it right now, probably because i've been off work for almost a week now and don't go back for another week. he didn't work nights when we moved in and i know that working nights is a completely different world than having a day job, but i'm really frustrated right now.

7. I'll never live with another adult humanoid, ever. I'm spoiled, too independent, too set in my
ways.. it drives me absolutely nuts; like "I can't breathe" nuts. I couldn't even do it for a boyfriend, or a husband. I couldn't.

At least you can tolerate your boyfriend !
