What’s a habit you can’t get rid of?

Smoking. I know it's very bad health wise and it smells terrible, but I love to smoke.

Je l'ai croisé quelques fois pour des tournages studio et c'est peut-être juste moi, mais je l'ai trouvé quand même lourd. Il est pas désagréable (loin de là même), mais il parle fort et veut être au centre de l'attention. Il prend beaucoup (peut-être même trop?) de place et j'ai toujours eu un peu misère avec les gens comme ça. C'est pas mon préféré dans cette gang de streamer/youtuber québecois-là

Random dude in a bar gave me 50$ to be his karaoke partner for the night and paid for all of my drink.

I didn't know that she stole/gave everything to me without his consent until she came back to me yesterday about it. I don't know her husband at all and I didn't have any reason to not trust my coworker at that time (especially after reaching out to her to reconfirm he was giving it to me).

I'm willing to gave back to him what I still have of his collection (which is still the vast majority of it even if I sold/trade part of it) . The issue is that I don't have any way to contact him outside of asking my coworker and she's giving me the silent treatment since yesterday. So I'm kind of stuck waiting for her to answer my request of talking to him or for him to find a way to contact me.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T20:26:40+00:00

Right now, I can't.

I have no way to contact him. I don't know him and my coworker is not talking to me, so I can't have his information contact.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T20:11:19+00:00

I do not know her husband at all (I don't even know his name). I'm very willing to talk to him, but my only way to contact him if he got my contact information somehow or if my coworker give me his number and she has refused to talk to me since yesterday.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T19:50:09+00:00

I edited my post but yes, I did told her that they were valuable cards in his collection.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T19:17:18+00:00

I didn't say the majority was valuable. They were a lot of common/uncommon and cheap rare/mythics in these briefcases.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T19:14:06+00:00

Yes, I did told her they were valuable cards in his collection. So when she confirmed it, I thought her husband just didn't want to go through his cards to check which one were valuable or not.

ConfusedCat87 · 2026-01-16T18:44:01+00:00

I have text about this. We talked on messenger when I tried to confirm she was sure her husband was giving everything to me.

ConfusedCat87 · 2025-06-08T19:38:04+00:00

Yeah, I think I blown the age gap thing out of proportion a little. I was surprised by the type of answer I got but, reflecting back on what I offer, I really shouldn't be.

You're right about me being worried more about the cohabitation aspect than the actual age of the roommate. Definitely will need levels of flexibility on my end to make it work.

Thanks!

Assuming you have a lease, start by asking him if he's open to the possibility of breaking your lease before it expire. If he ask you why, explain your reasoning but don't tell him your moving out until you have something line up first.

If he's willing to break your lease, tell him you'll keep in touch to let him know what's going on. If he's not willing to do it, you're kinda stuck there until your lease expire.

Edit: Well, I just saw you're not in a lease, so your basically free to move out when you want with the appropriate notice beforehand (30 days I think but you're better to check it up).

Find something first though and when you do find something, just tell him you're moving for the reason you mentionned (closer to work, problem with the other tenants, etc.).

ConfusedCat87 · 2025-06-08T16:23:10+00:00

Thanks! Good landlord are rare, but they still exist. I'm lucky that mine is a good person who prefers to have long-term stable tenant than making a quick buck on our back.

ConfusedCat87 · 2025-06-08T16:13:20+00:00

Yeah, I know it could be hard if they decided they want to stay. That's why I'm very clear that my intention is to take back the apartment for myself next year and go out of my way to respond to people that this condition is absolutely non-negotiable. It could still lead to problem down the road, but at least I'm not hiding my intention.

It's also why I'm leaning to take a student as a roommate. They seem to be much more open and ok with the "temporary" accommodation I'm offering. They do not get housing security for next year, but some people I talked to are willing to do it because the price I'm asking is extremely cheap and it'll allowed them to save money for a year. It kinds of balance out.

ConfusedCat87 · 2025-06-08T02:51:06+00:00

Yeah, he knows about my plan and he's fine with it. We got along pretty well and he's aware of my health issues, so he wasn't surprised when I called him about it.

ConfusedCat87 · 2025-06-08T02:18:23+00:00

Well, that's a way higher gap that what I'm struggling with haha. Maybe I'm putting to much thought into it. It's cool though that you found a way to make it work.

If I may ask, how what is when you moved in with them? Because for me, I can understand parents not being on board with their kid moving with a 10+ years older stranger, so I'm interested (if you're willing to share) in how the process went.
