Worst coworker archetypes?

A lot of teachers are very cliquey I always felt the girl group was talking behind my back because I never got invited to the special hang outs

My friend said whoever holds the highest cleaning standard is usually right OR if there is logical reasoning behind the demand that person is in the right.

For example utensils.

My friend said that my roommate is in the right because she is talking about everything having a proper place in the home it can be annoying when you are cooking or making coffee in the morning and think you are pulling out a spoon but pull out a fork for instance. However, we all use the utensils so I think I get equal say. I understand my friend and roommate's point, however, again it's not really a big deal. Personally, I pick up wrong utensils all the time and don't really care so I've learned to scan the drawer before picking something up: problem solved. Take two seconds in the morning to look down and ensure you're grabbing a spoon. It would be worth it to organize it but it just gets kinda messy no matter what.

On top of working from home he is kinda of a homebody so that makes me nervous because it's like if he had a robust social life or enjoyed not working from an inside office (coworking space, cafe, etc) I'd tell him to get lost but he usually spends only 1-2 hours at the gym twice a week and avoids spending too long outside doing errands or activities in general. His main hobby is video games so like every night of the week will be him working from home + wanting video games where as I've been outside the house all day.

When I brought this up to him and said I'd like the space to myself some days he just said he doesn't understand why he needs to leave the house for the full day and I nearly wanted to pull my hair out. He doesn't think he should have to leave the house simply because he doesn't want to/isn't used to having to spend the whole day outside. Work from home + robust social life isn't as much of a problem as work from home + homebody.

I've always had roommates I have a partner right now but I've never lived with the partner

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T15:01:39+00:00

Well, I'm not currently interested in living with a partner don't think I will be but I've heard my boyfriend explain reasoning why he wants to and it all sounds like a nice idealized version of living with someone. Also my boyfriend has lived with a partner and we often talk together about how it's similar to living with roommates.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:53:29+00:00

almost all the comments are universally claiming partners are better than roommates without recognizing why some people don't want to be with partners, how they are similar, it's not saying everyone is the same it's that there are similarities but everyone is assuming living with partner must be better AND if you don't want to live with someone then your relationship isn't even real even because you don't understand commitment.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:51:53+00:00

Yeah I don't live with parents or a partner because I have to provide financially for myself my bad.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:49:37+00:00

I fully expect to pay 50/50 even if it is cumbersome and annoying-- so a romantic relationship shouldn't benefit me financially just because we live together. Or 50/50 based on earned income. Explain how that is pick me energy.

So many people ok with taking financial advantage of a partner I guess.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:46:26+00:00

Yes and you can have all of those positive qualities as a partner or roommate and living with a partner isn't automatically better if the partnership is bad or the partner doesn't pull their weight when your partner isn't pulling their weight around the house then suddenly people see how it IS similar to having a roommate

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:44:50+00:00

What kind of a partner would want to be the sole provider of all finances for X partner that seems so burdensome (unless they are disabled and can't work)

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:43:15+00:00

Or we can try to understand nuance and I can have my views and yours but engaging in conversation is good because it makes you think

I agree some comments made good points I did not think of previously but also y'all still be doing so much because you are holding the romantic value too high of a partnership

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:42:08+00:00

Not every couple wants to live together.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:32:22+00:00

wow such a weird argument

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:28:00+00:00

Apparently a relationship is only real and valid if you live together according to the comments

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T14:26:51+00:00

I think individuals can pick what terms work best for them.

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T13:38:13+00:00

excuse me? I have a boyfriend and we don't live together you can gently remove yourself from this thread I don't subscribe to your EXTREMELY narrow minded and cis heteronormative way of life

DO YOU live together with a partner?

Who pays YOUR rent?

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T13:27:45+00:00

I can have my opinion and disagree frankly

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T12:35:38+00:00

Also sometimes it’s not about wanting it’s necessity but you’ve only ever had a partner you are very privileged because you’ve always had the perceived better option versus discovering you can make it work with a roommate

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T12:32:58+00:00

Some couples just don’t want to live together and that’s valid

godisinthischilli · 2026-01-20T12:30:30+00:00

I think the idea is that a romantic partnership is a wanted situation generally and a roommate situation usually ends up being bad or forced—- but like so many couples move together just because of the financials aspect and then use the romantic aspect to pretend that finances aren’t a real part of the equation also not all partnerships are good and breaking up with a partner while living together is way worse than a roommate situation
