She Done Already Had Hers’s in Current Events

I finally had the talk with my roommate. Can you believe?

You’ll have to read my previous entry to know what straw broke the camels back. I started the conversation with how shitty it was to leave me out her birthday plans after inviting me.

She understood how our shared responsibilities were left up to me. She understood how shitty she was as a friend to me. She understood how shitty her financial abuse was. She is still convinced that the money is split fairly. She doesn’t understand why I feel like I am losing out when I say that she got two years of free labour.

She seems to feel victimized that I have the master bedroom. She claims that I demanded it because I am fully furnished. That is not true. She offered it. I also asked her what she would do with a master bedroom. She lives out of storage totes.

She feels that this apartment is all mine and that she just rents the room. I had to explain how she created this situation. She also feels that she is never here so why does she have to pay? I had to explain to her how I was also never here when I was working full-time and going to school and taking care of this place by myself.

She doesn’t seem to understand how she co-created this. I kept having to remind her how she was all over the place with how we split the costs.

She understands how shitty it was to make a whole evening about herself the night I opened up about my grandmother in the hospital. She doesn’t remember what she said because she was drunk.

Long story short, she has a narrative in her head that this is just my apartment and she is just renting the room. I kept having to remind her that we never arranged for that. She can’t remember most agreements because she was so drunk when we first moved in.

She then reminded me that we are not living together forever, the moment her cousin is ready to rent out his house she is taking it. I will be given one months notice when that time comes. If I want her out she is willing to leave no contest.

I got a half hearted apology at one point for something. Can’t remember.

It was a bit like trying to talk to a teenager but she was trying to be more cooperative.

I dunno what to think or feel. We will continue this conversation another day to finalize the split of costs. I really feel that she didn’t care about the parts she should have cared about. Just wanted direction on what to do or say. Can’t say I’m surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if she did move out to screw me over in retaliation. I wish I could afford that because living with people sucks.
