    Ok, so, lets avoid the obvious "dude, you need to move out" comments because I am working on that.

    But for the present.
    For anyone who hasn't seen my previous threads, I live in a house with a few people. One guy is out at the end of the month. No issues there.
    there was another girl who was a liar and a user but she is gone now.
    We have the landlord who I have become good friends with. For my part anyway.
    And we have a new girl. Really nice, full of life. She just moved here from across the country. I thought that this would be a good place for her to live.

    She called me today, clearly upset. She got home this morning to check on her cat and found that someone had been in her room. The door was left open and her cat was gone. She went downstairs to find windows open (no screen) and the cat was luckily just on the floor. But it could of easily gotten out and disappeared into the urban jungle.

    The landlord and I made a list of rules not too long ago. One of them was that we don’t go into each other’s rooms without permission.

    The new roommate is upset because she feels like she has been disrespected. And she has been. She doesn't want to live somewhere where she can’t feel safe.

    So here is my problem,
    I'm upset that after we take the time to make a list of rules, our landlord goes and breaks them. I'm upset that she doesn't respect someone living in our home enough to make sure that her pet doesn't escape.
    I'm upset that after everything that happened with our last roommate, that she is going to treat someone like this but still expect her to be a good roommate.
    And I am going to have words with the landlord. And if she isn’t willing to listen to me then I will move out. And I will take the new roommate with me.

    And the new roommate is really cool. And she may move out over this. Which would be a shame as its hard to find good roommates.

    I guess I’m not looking for advice. More of a rant thread really.
    Feel free to comment away.

    Why are you complaining to us? Give the landlord an earful!

    (You really have some bad luck with roommates, don't you!)

    I dont think my life is important enough to be a sticky on bit-tech.
    I did talk to my landlord. When I said that our roommate may move out, she said "fine, let her"....
    I really dont get it. I asked her about what she thinks of our roommate. And the response was that she's cool. So why would you be willing to just let her walk away then?

    Stab the landlady in the face, then sexually assault her.

    Seriously why do people post stuff like this on the interweb, if you want help with an engine or something similarly technical yes, otherwise just MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!

    I didn't know that there is a posting criteria in the general section. And its kind of hard to stab someone in the face when you are in love with them.

    Why do you love such a selfish cow and why are you letting her get away with that crap?
    Does she even love you back?
    Move out, take the new roommate with you and tell the landlady to go f**k herself. :)

    Thats a good question.
    No, doesn't love me back. its totally one sided. I should move out. Well, I will. Its just a matter of where and when.
    Until then i'm just trying to keep the peace. If I can.

    This week was going to be the week that I told me landlord how I feel about her. Instead I woke up last night to the sound of her getting ****** by some guy.

    I put in my notice. I'm moving out.

    Feel free to say I told you so.

    On the scale of how far this comes on my "FuzzyOne Cares This Much" list, your situation ranks 7 places under the host specificity of insects sucking on leaf mesophyll cells of papua new guinea but it comes just above the leaf-mining insects of the lowland rainforests, consider yourself on my list....somewhere.

    Seriously drinking whisky and browsing bit-tech is BAD!

    tell her you want to show her what you do for a living and then, once up there, push her out

    problem solved

    If this was on fmylife.com I would click the YDI button. (no offense)

    It should have been clear it wasn't going to work out a while before you decided you were leaving.. but it's good you finally realized it. Don't come back on your decision, I think you would severely regret it.
