Poll of the Day > My housemate's girlfriend is such an enabler it actually hurts

(+) Yeah! (+)

Theyve been together for a year now, and shes really very sweet, but I think shes a little too other-minded.

Ive spent the last year watching housemates health deteriorate (but only when shes around) to the point that he pretends his heart condition makes it incredibly difficult for him to go up the stairs. He works like 2 days a week now, and doesnt even finish those shifts because hell have her come pick him up and drive him home before he can even take a lunch break, having her leave her job to do it.

Housemate has a habit of really over sharing in all aspects of his life, so he tries to justify why he cant work to me for some reason, but then hell go and say things like My paycheck this week was barely $200 :(. [Girlfriends mom] had to lend her her car, but I cant afford the gas to drive it :(. And I dont know how Im going to pay rent I might have to ask [Girlfriend] to help me out

This money-lending thing must have been happening for a while because housemate hasnt worked a consistent 30 hour week since before September.

Im sure this sounds very sad when you dont know him, but when shes not around, hes up at like 4 AM most nights screaming and shouting about Apex, but then goes right back to wheezing and using his sickly Victorian child voice the moment she calls him.

As a group, we only have this house until the end of July but its looking likely that Ill be out before that point. Looks like housemate is moving into his gfs moms house and I sincerely hope hes okay with putting this persona on 24/7 because Im anticipating many issues when the mom realizes that the daughter is paying everything while housemate basically just wants to lay on his bed all day, staring at his phone and then complaining that he only gets 2 hours of sleep, max, per night.

dude just sounds like he wants a stereotypical mom but that he can fuck

Hes looking for the path of least resistance and he found it in someone who asks nothing of him, and is willing to give him her medical knowledge that he takes and runs with because she cant find it odd when she tells him that lack of sleep leads to heart issues and suddenly hes having heart attacks at work every month that are bad enough to send him home but not bad enough to go to a hospital.

more so kinda sounds like the dudes having panic attacks, if it's true at all which i suspect isn't because he seems like a shitty dude

One time I had to clean his girlfriends period blood from the toilet seat and confronted him about it and he told me he wouldnt be able to clean it up because his gf wanted to see him all the time and also because he was $1000 in debt

this makes literally zero sense?

I'm surprised the guy still has his job.

did you ask why she didn't clean it?

Because she didnt and still doesnt live here technically (even if she is the one paying his rent) and it shouldnt be on her to clean up

ive only known my mom and sister but ive never seen period blood on a toilet seat
shes just as useless as your housemate if she thinks she doesnt have to clean that herself

Maybe I'm weird, but when I make a mess in somebody else's house, I generally at least try to clean it up myself.

I thought cleaning up after oneself while being a guest in someone else's home was a standard courtesy...

I mean, it is, but Im not holding a grudge against my housemates girlfriend and then making things extra weird. Id rather voice my discontent with housemate who will say the flimsiest thing to relieve himself of any responsibility and just hold anger about that.

Is a housemate the same as a roommate or just similar? What's the difference?

They share the house but dont sleep in my room or one or both of us wouldnt be here right now

Technically, housemates share a house, where roommates share a room. But many people use roommates for people who share a house, as well But they are suppose to be used for different things

Yeah. I already know that. I said technically since a lot of people use roommate when they mean housemate Your post changes nothing I still stand by what I said

housemate is typically and technically the lesser used term.......

I also know its lesser used. Which is why I said most people use roommate when they mean housemate Most people are fine with calling a housemate a roommate instead Not to be rude, but is there a point to this? Why are you just saying stuff that I already know, and that should be obvious I know by the way I posted what I posted
