You Asked: Is He Off Limits?
Dear Sugar,
My ex-boyfriend and I have been broken up for six years now, but we remain very good friends. I have always had a little crush on his roommate, and just recently we talked about the possibility of taking our relationship to the next level. My ex and I have both dated other people since our split, but is dating his best friend and roommate just totally not allowed?
You Asked: I Don't Want to Overstay My Welcome
Dear Sugar,
I recently started dating a guy who I click with and have great chemistry with. I live a ways away from where we usually go out, so I spend the night at his place much more than he does mine, despite the fact that he has two roommates. While I have spent the night at a guy's place before, I've never had to deal with roommates and I'm feeling very uneasy about it.
You Asked: How Do I Kick Out My Roommate
Dear Sugar,
I live with my cousin, and moving in with her was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. At first when we sat down and talked about living together, it sounded it like it would work. We came to an understanding about how we would live and things started off well.
Handle This: Your Roommate Is Lazy
When you first moved in with your friend, you both decided it would be in the best interest of your friendship if together, you sat down and divided the household chores in two. With a firm schedule, nothing would be overlooked and you wouldn’t waste any time wondering who should do what.
But while you’ve followed through on your end of the bargain, your roommate has not.
You Asked: How Do I Kick My Roommate Out?
Dear Sugar,
My roommate moved to Seattle (my town) from Indiana at the end of June after I had secured a lease on an apartment. We had never met before, except online through a mutual hobby. She moved in time to go to an interview for a job she did not end up getting.
A Do or a Don't: Living With Friends
Living with someone can give you an entirely new perspective, and unluckily it’s not always for the best. The close proximity created by a living space creates many opportunities for butting heads, and so I often hear people say that it’s better to live with someone you don’t know, rather than with a friend. It’s easy to lose a bad roommate but harder to lose a good friend.
True Confession — I Lied to My Roommate
Weigh in and tell us if you forgive or not forgive this True Confession.
"My roommate brought her Internet date to our place. I totally knew this guy and I finally remembered why — I met him online a year ago and we fooled around a bit after our one and only date.
Handle This: Your Roommate Has Terrible Hygiene
You just moved into a new apartment with another girl. The place was super clean and the girl was nice, so it seemed like the perfect fit. But after only a week living with your roommate, you’re starting to notice something funny — specifically, her smell.
Don't Ask, Can Tell: Sexual Orientation Screening On the Web
Roommates.com cannot require users looking for roommates to list their sexual orientation. A federal appeals court just ruled that antidiscrimination rules apply to the Internet.
The panel ruled 8-3 that inquiring electronically about sexual orientation is no different than asking someone in person or over the phone whether they are black or Jewish.
You Asked: His Roommate Is Affecting Our Relationship
Dear Sugar,
Last Summer my boyfriend moved in with one of his friends. We are both very busy and usually see each other on the weekends. Most of the time I sleep at his place but things have been strange lately; it seems like my boyfriend's friend is jealous of the relationship we have.
