    We’re supposed to be best friends, and we decided to move in together BUUUUUUUT he’s done literally everything he can to prove he’s selfish.

    And when he’s called out on it he will Deny he did anything, Deflect and say I’m the one that’s overreacting and then if i stand my ground he whispers an apology at a volume where i cannot hear him even though he’s within arm’s reach.

    No lie.

    We had a talk where i told him rooming with people is difficult because in every situation I’ve been in the roommates have always been antagonistic and selfish. Told him all the things past roommates have done that crippled the living situation and he he has done all of it. But it’s supposed to be okay as long as he claims “it was a joke” or “we’re bffs I’d never do anything to hurt you.”

    Edit: i know you’re making a joke but some of us can’t survive without a roommate to split bills with because not every job pays enough, and they basically laugh when we ask for a raise. I worked at a retail store 2 years ago that gasped when i told them 4-8hrs of work a week isn’t enough for anything.
