I'm having trouble deciding how to deal with a roommate issue, and I decided that Letsrun would be the ideal place to go for advice. I've been living with a teammate for 2 years, and during the last year or so things have been gradually heading South. He gets his panties in a wad any time I don't notify him of my exact daily agenda, and in general has become irritating to the point that I feel it's affecting my running to live with him. I really want to move into my own place, but am not sure how to break it to my roommate without him causing a scene and/or going around sabotaging my reputation with the rest of the team. Any advice on how to break it to him? Good excuses for moving out without hurting his hyper-sensitive feelings? Any help would be appreciated.

re: PBR

Two options:

1) Make up an unrelated excuse or reason as to why you want to move out. You want to move to a different part of campus, or such.

2) Be honest and say that it's time for a change. You've enjoyed living with him, but you just want something different. If he really pushes for the whole truth, give it to him. The rest of the team likely knows about his hpersensative feelings and will be able to understand that you were being the good guy.

The best thing to do is to say that you want your own place. If you were moving in with someone else on the team it would be a scandal, but most people would live on their own instead of with roommates if they had the choice.

Yeah.

Sounds like squabbles between girls.

Men don't argue about stupid shit like this.

Go drink a PBR and grow some nuts.

Break his little bitch-ass heart! He needs it. Just say, "Welcome to real life where people dont always tiptoe around your ginger little feelings, asswipe! You're an asshole and I hate you. I'm moving out. Quit being a jealous possessive bitch!" The team will love you for it.

Take him out on a date and break up with him in a public restaurant. That will min the chances he will throw a fit.

Be strong my gay friend.

You may have to break up with him 2 or 3 times. Often the 1st time does not take.

You are a gay dude, living with another gay dude and you are on a team together. You are worrying that that he will do something to hurt your relationship/reputation with the team after you breakup.

Wake up dude. Your team already knows. And regardless of whatever they tell you, no, its not cool.

Just tell him you decided not to be gay any more.

It worked for Anne Heche when she broke up with Ellen Degeneres.

That is pretty much what happened to Andrew McCarthy when he did Rob Lowe's mom in the 1983 movie "Class."

The mom was played by Jacqueline Bisset.

So that is a tried and true method.
