Damn. Now I want to live with my parents until I find a sutiable SO. I don’t think I could live alone, with all the horror books I read. Every night I would think someone is going to attack me or something. I feel better when someone else is up and moving about. Now. A word of advice. MOVE NOW. This guy sounds like an idiot, and you don’t have to put up with living with idiots and their phyco girlfriends. Like the others have said, move in with a friend until you can find your own place, or just move in with a friend, period. And why would you share your computer with that guy? I can’t stand sharing this computer with my brother, and I (sometimes) like him! How can you share a computer with a guy that you don’t like?

He bought it, I just “get to use it”. Now that I have a much better paying job I might be able to get a decent one for myself soon.

Sweet jesus, I’m realizing how lucky I am that I’ve never had a bad roommate in my life…

Well, I wish you the best of luck at finding a new, more suitable roommate posthaste. I have only one question:

> [@dnooman](#):

> Sorry for the length and lack of vitriol, it happened a week ago. I just had to expose this asinine behavior so that I didn’t steep in it.

No, don’t trouble yourself about the length, or the relative mildness. But how much time has to go by before it counts as “steeping in it?”

That was **Cisco** ’s former roommate, not **dnooman** ’s current one.

Actually, it’s bad manners to have your girlfriend move in with you without your roommate being 100% okay with it. It’s also bad manners to be the girlfriend moving into this situation without previous stipulation. **dnooman** was not the bad mannered one here.

Oops.

I thought I was being careful- I swear I checked a couple of times… somehow I mistook **Cisco’s** post for a followup by\*\* dnooman\*\*.

The OP’s roommate still sounds like a jerk. I’d kick him out unless he apologized for being such an ass and made reparations, or at least an attempt to smooth things over.

I never thought about trying to get _him_ to leave. Interesting proposition. Now I just need to find sombody that wants to live in a great neighborhood and pay cheap rent. That’s not nearly as daunting as the prospect of finding a new pad. I think I might actually try that. Thanks **Steelerphan**. Now I hope the Giants only beat the Steelers by a field goal, instead of a routing. 😉  
(No, I’m not being sarcastic, and no, I’m not going to try to get him to move out by enraging him. I at least know _that_ much.)

I don’t know enough to say whether he’s a sociopath or not, but he sure does sound like a borderline personality. ☹

How about just [confusing](http://www.allowe.com/Humor/Book/How%20To%20Drive%20Your%20Roommate%20Crazy.htm) the hell out of him?

Whose name is on the lease?

If it’s your name alone, you can tell him to get out, and make it stick. Depending, of course, on his written sub-lease with you.

If it’s his name alone, your options depend on your written sub-lease with him.

If it’s both of you, you’d have to break the lease.

Good luck.

We’re both on it. The initial term is up, now we’re going on a month to month basis. I need to find my copy of that lease.

Well, if she’s ready to have a bunch of Ninjas sent over to your house, you might want to be careful…

dunno why the word Ninja was censored, is it bad luck to say it? 😉
