a friend · 1mo

you’re not being selfish at all - your friend/roommate is being both a bad friend and roommate by putting you in this position. she has every right to want to move, but clearly she didn’t give any consideration as to how this would affect you and that’s deeply unfair. is there anything at all you can do to help you find a roommate as opposed to moving? housing groups with other people searching for roommates? asking irl friends on social media? had y’all already told your landlord you were resigning?

unfortunately i don’t have any irl friends available to move in with and i quite literally don’t even Know anyone else so my only other option is to live alone but i can’t afford that post-graduation since i won’t have time for a job til then and am out of savings so that’s not actually an option in the first place

my roommate doesn’t Know my situation yet bc i can’t even look at her without wanting to scream and sob and make her understand what situation i’m in bc of her but that is NOT fair and i don’t actually want to burn that bridge bc she’s still my best friend and lashing out at her for wanting to grow isn’t fair to her but also. Fuck. ya know. lol

we haven’t told the complex yet but she’s technically the main lease holder since she made the account before we (me & my mom, the main rent payers by fucking 2/3) could even think abt it so honestly i should make her be the one to tell them since we’re way past the mandatory 60 day notice and she’s the one who changed her mind despite TELLING ME she was down for another year

idk. idk. i don’t have time to find both a rando to move in with And a new apartment when i don’t have stable finances since my mom was only willing to help bc there was established trust w my current roommate which has now been broken 😭 i’m fully on my own now which like yea i’m an adult i should know this by now but i didn’t think THIS would happen??? we’re meant to be best friends??? i thought we were on the same page??? so like what the fuck 😭
