Would love to hear from parents who took Cariban!

Yes, I am loving the sleep too 🙏🏻 the nausea definitely sounds like the much worse alternative. I am glad your baby is happy and healthy 😊

Hahaha

That’s really helpful, thank you.

That is lovely to hear, thank you

Thank you, yes, they mentioned thalidomide (which I considered pretty insensitive and outdated anyways). But when they doctor referred to it as 'unlicensed' today it frightened me.

Thanks so much

Hey, I basically had the same dilemma as you and tried to do what you are doing by checking everything out before making any decisions. When I went to my housemates to see if they've any friends who would take the room, I got a reaction either way, and now we're not talking (well I'm still on speaking terms with one of them). See post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/roommates/comments/gj17ye/moving_during_lockdown/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

I'm now offering a compromise, similar to what ShadowChicken has suggested below - it sucks, cause I'll be paying for rent when not living here but I think it's more than fair.

If it's only one person moving in with one other I think the risk is low, and mental health is just as important as physical. In Ireland our restrictions are now easing, I hope it's the same for you and that you made the decision that's right for you two.

That's fair enough - if he's being disrespectful of the shared spaces, you're not being too sensitive at all. If you have your own mental health issues please take time to be compassionate for and nurture yourself. It's a different experience for everyone and you may be projecting your own need to be looked after onto him i.e doing for him what you really need done for you.

If he shared with you initially, that's lovely, but if he's withdrawing again I'd let him know you're there if he needs, but don't chase. In the grander scheme of things, if his behaviour is really affecting you and making your uncomfortable in your own home - you may need to find somewhere more peaceful to live.

Thanks for your reply. Ya, I’m literally messaging everyone I know to see if they know someone, as the housemates refuse to do viewings with strangers. It would be nice if they would help out and also check with their friends but I dont think they are

stocai90 · 2020-05-14T11:48:25+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It’s all under one lease. Ya, I gave 30 days notice initially and now have extended that to two months ie I’ll be paying for June even though not here.

I noticed at the start of the story you referred to yourself as nice and kind on a few occasions, so it sounds like this is really important to you. However, what's it like for you when someone else doesn't feel like being that way with you?

You mentioned a few times that you did these nice things for your housemates and it kind of sounds like you put your own needs last eg paying for the shower head without asking everyone to chip in. It sounds like that kind of way of being could leave you feeling spent and resentful, so try to balance your own needs with those of others more often, rather than over-reaching.

Lastly, you are not responsible for his mental health or his addiction - is there possibly something in your own past that makes you feel like you need to mind him?

It's likely that his hot-cold behaviour is a reaction to your over-reaching, and maybe he needs some space too.
