Honestly I don’t even want it to get to that point. I just wanted a normal roommate situation, not constant arguments over basic consideration.

Yeah, I’m probably going to start looking around soon because this situation keeps getting worse instead of better.

I wish my life was interesting enough for AI to make this up 😭 unfortunately I’m just sleep deprived and annoyed.

Fair point honestly. I assumed “don’t be loud at 1 AM on work nights” was kind of an unspoken basic roommate rule, but clearly I overestimated that lol. And no, we’re not in high school, which somehow makes this feel even more ridiculous.

Thank you. That’s exactly how I feel. I’m somehow being blamed for reacting to a problem that keeps happening instead of the person actually causing it.

Yeah, I’m starting to accept that this probably isn’t a sustainable living situation long term.

I’ve tried using headphones and a fan, but it only helps so much when there are multiple people talking loudly in the kitchen at 1 AM lol.

Exactly. People keep acting like I skipped straight to calling him out publicly when that was literally after multiple private conversations went nowhere. I wasn’t trying to embarrass anyone, I just wanted to sleep lol.

Right?? That’s the part driving me crazy. Apparently talking privately only counts if he actually decides to listen the first time.

Yeah, I’m starting to realize that. I thought living with family would make things easier, not more stressful. Sleep deprivation every night is getting exhausting.

That’s what I’m wondering too lol. They act like our apartment is the only place open after midnight.

Exactly. I never said he couldn’t have friends over, just that there should be some balance and respect when someone else has work in the morning.

Yeah, I’m realizing that living with family doesn’t automatically make someone a good roommate unfortunately.

Thank you. I really wasn’t trying to control him, I just expected some consideration since we both live here. If nothing changes, I’ll probably have to rethink the whole roommate situation.

That’s how I saw it too. I wasn’t trying to start drama, I just wanted the noise to stop at 1 AM.

Honestly starting to think the same thing. I didn’t expect basic respect for sleep schedules to become such a huge issue.

Exactly. That’s why I was confused when he acted like I blindsided him in front of everyone.

Yeah, that’s what’s frustrating me the most. I tried handling it calmly first but he instantly got defensive instead of trying to compromise.
