My roommate

I have a really big issue with my female roommate. We've been living together since October. December was when she wrote on her fb is "i was a bitch and wanted to ****ing kill me," because there was crumbs on the floor. She kept asking "well how'd you know it was about you" when i confronted her. I apologized, but said it was not right to call me a bitch.

After that eposide we didn't talk for weeks, then slowly in January she would talk to me only if our male roommate was there. Then there was red plastic on an element and she flipped out. Never directly asking me to clean it up or even if i did it, just yelling for 5 minutes when i wasn't home.

Around March i got a boyfriend, and she sighs when he comes in, rolls her eyes when she mets him in the staircase, and just is generally rude. She also has a dog, if i feed it, she feeds him again, to avoid asking me. If my male roommate does it, she praises him and tells him how much she loves him.

So tonight i come over after a long day of work, her friend is parked in my spot, so i waited until her friend moved. I headed straight downstairs, and she whips out something about checking her dishes before she eats them because the whore..." i didn't hear the rest, but i clearly heard whore.

I've tried to find new places, nothing seems to be working. She lived in the house for 4 years with her mom, and i think that has something to do with her posseviness of the house. She inspects the kitcehn daily, if my male roommate leaves crumbs it goes unnoticed. The bathroom is hidious, and she doesn't do anything to help out. Doesn't take out recycling or garbage, and leaves her dishes sitting on the counter for weeks. My roommate says she's an equal opportunity hater. Yay for equality! :P

Oh and to top it off, she's got her BA in Conflict Resolution. I never got her mom's number, and its gotten to the point of when i find a place, i'm moving out, no months notice, hell i might even do it when she's home in her usual spot; Sitting on the sofa with her laptop. The boy and I used to be really close, but then I had a bf and he kind of withdrew.

Has anyone countered a person so volatile and bitter? And how do you deal with it? Can I get satisification?

I counter the similar thing. Luckly, she moved out. Maybe.... You need a talk with her when she is quite.

I had a roommate kind of like that once, sadly me and my other roommate tried everything to make it work. We talked to the guy, drew up cleaning schedules, tried to fight fire with fire. Sadly nothing worked and we just waited for the lease to come up and then we vacated. It's pretty much impossible to change a person that doesn't want to change. Hang tough till you find a new place and then get the hell out of dodge. Good luck on your search!
