Last year around June/July I moved in with my boyfriend and a friend. Everything was all fine and dandy until my partner had his sister stay with us for what was supposed to be an overnight feat... But... Because she hit it off with the other housemate she ended up extending her stay with us for a week which was fine. We all got along well for the week and she went back home after that... A week later our housemate proclaimed his love for my partner's sister and asked if she could move in with us, which we all agreed to as it had worked for the week she stayed with us... a week later she had moved in and all was ok... For the next 4 months we all got along until me and my partner called it quits at around Christmas time and moved out.. After that the sister and my friend became very reserved and eventually they would walk around the house and not even acknowledge I existed. Not to mention the fact that they were CONSTANTLY late in getting their rent to me, they would make a mess of everything and not bother to clean it up (mind you, I should include that most of the stuff they use within the house belongs to me, the fridge, washing machine, tv, lounge.. pretty much everything). God forbid if I mentioned it...because aparently it was ME who made the mess so I should stop winging and clean it up.. It got to the stage where I was getting depressed and not spending any time at home other than to sleep and I would spend my time with my friends.. Untill I met my new partner and we started staying at home a little more, got a kitten and all the rest of it.. And yet STILL I got treated like a leper by the housemates, they continued to make a mess and not clean up, leaving dishes for weeks at a time and not even bother to rinse them. When my new parter said something about it, my male friend got all defensive when my parter brought up that while everyone was at work his girlfriend would do nothing all day but sleep, do her hair and makeup, then sleep some more while he was left to do all the cleaning while my friendand I worked.. My friend claimed he picked up the slack for his lazy girlfriend, yet the only thing he would do would be to maybe clean the loo once every 2-3 weeks or he dishes once a month.. THEN would accuse my parter and myself of being the lazy ones when we were the ones spending hours every week cleaning the mess they made. Another fight between my partner and the housemates later and the housemates, without even bothering to have a decent conversation with me about anything just decide to up and pretty much f-off without so much as an I'm moving out, will you two be ok to take over the lease?

It is from this experience that I am now very wary of my friends and what they are capable of.. When I moved in with my friend I was not aware that he would change as soon as he got a girfriend.. We were quite close till she came onto the picture.. It's sad how things work out..

Currently I am still awaiting to get some sort of reply from my friend as to whether or not he is moving out with his girlfriend... In the meantime all I can think is Why do I bother???
