Yes. I allowed a boy that I have been dating for about a month (not exclusively or seriously), to move in for a small monthly fee. Not because we were ready for such a step relationship-wise, but because he is my friend first, was ready for a new environment, and I needed the beer money. We set rules (sporks, etc). We were allowed to date other people, but not really in front of each other (i.e. no guests in the apartment). I know it sounds kind of [EXTRA] shady. Maybe, it is shady.
Even though I hadn't come across such an unfortunate soul, I imagined how I would explain to some nice boy that he could never hang out at my apartment because I'm also dating my roommate and he does not take kindly to gentlemen callers. I figured he'd think I that I was lying and actually married. Screwy either way, I guess.
Well, I didn't have the chance to exercise my explanatory skillz, because I just got DUMP'D. I've pretty much been saying for the past couple of days that we were "on a runaway train". Neither of us wanted to be in a serious relationship, yet we fooled ourselves for a week and a half into believing that our living arrangement was no such beast. In reality, we were behaving as a married couple (including not "doing it".. Xcuses). We grocery shopped; I ironed his shirts; we smooched and coo'd. Okay, that's not marriedish, that's just weird.
Well, he agreed with me, but when I said "runaway train", I meant that it should go until it crashed. Apparently, Superman Roommate Bastard decided that he'd stop it before it actually.......ran away.
I enjoy his company a lot, but otherwise have no moving feelings one way or the other. Maybe, I'm not emo enough. Of course, my heart DID hurt when he dumped me because my little ego is fragile, but I'm pretty much over it now (two hours later). It's also resilient.
The thing that REALLY fucking sucks is that I'm now forced not only to SEE the fellow who rejected me earlier this evening, but he has taken full control of my favorite television (biggest and most digital options).
He also made me move my computer from its own room (now his) to some groovy alcove. It's a good thing that I learned how to "toggle" when people sneak up at work, otherwise he'd know my dirty Uber secrets.
In other news, my ex boyfriend invited me to a wedding today. (The wedding was not today, the invitation was).
Such is my life.
God bless it! :)

Jonny, you are too intuitive!
Thanks for the support! I really don't feel badly about it at all. Even though it is a bizarre situation, I know that I made the right decision. I'm 25 and did not grow up with siblings and never had a roommate. I think that I was stressed because I know there are valuable lessons to be learned by having those things. So, here I am! Hopefully, getting less weird and more tolerable by the minute! Plus, I found out that it's good to have a roommate when there is a millipede the length of a python crawling across the floor. I'm not sure what it is, but there are some seriously fucked up bugs in Kentucky.
Sideshow! I learned that I make strange choices. Also, the reason that our nation's capital is in DC instead of New York City is because Jefferson was a hillbilly and Hamilton wanted the government to pay off the war related debt incurred by the states. Other than that, maybe ask me again in a month.....probably that roommates are for suckers and that I have viruses on my computer from porn downloads.

Well, it seems all the appropriate clucking and head-shaking has been done, so no need for me to...it's good that things got nipped in the bud before it caused a real mess.
I know this is going to contribute to your sense of angst that you've been feeling these past few months - try not to let it get ya down.
I think that's why you did this, to get more grounded - you'll be just fine, dear!

Berty, I really don't want you to think that I'm a cold hearted bitch. Truthfully, you and C1ndy are two of my favorite uber people because you are both generally KIND and hilarious.
Sometimes, I wonder why I don't get more bent out of shape about things. At first, I thought I might have a problem with repressing my emotions, but then realized that I'm just happy.
I just thought it was funny to say that I'm completely devoid of human emotion. Doing so increased my happiness level, thus decreasing the probability of that statement actually coming true!
--------------
You raise an interesting point, about lack of emotion I mean. I know it sounds like silly bollocks but we (as in young, unfulfilled people. Well. Me at any rate) get so used to needing and wanting stuff that when those needs are filled we feel a bit empty.
Truth be told I rarely feel strongly about anything, I'm terribly apathetic. I have principles though and when one of those principles is called into question or exonerated or something I manufacture the emotion for the world.
Then again I've never really lived so what do I know?

been there, done that. a little over a year ago I got dumped by a guy I was not only living with (already signed contract for the following year, it being a 4-person rented student house) but also, up until that point engaged to. It does get easier, especially when they get a girlfriend on the other side of town and you can pretend they don't really live with you any more. HINT: wear *that dress* or somesuch in about 6 months time and watch for the jaw-drop reaction. Feel self-righteous that they now know what they're missing. It feels good ;)

I find the sudden urge for all these guys to have sex with a woman who is, by her own admission, essentially dead on the inside rather puzzling.

you're going to wake up one morning and all your panties will be gone, and he'll be jacking off on them.
Why?
Because even though he doesn't want to date you anymore, he'd still enjoy blowing some man-frosting all over your crotch.

I find it absolutely hilarious that you thought this was going to work. Tell me, how many drugs were you taking when you made this decision?
I would say that if he isn't paying half of the rent, kick him the fuck out. Once he's gone, buy a cat.
Welcome to oblivion.
--------------
Just to clarify, this situation is not nearly as dramatic as it sounds. I knew that we would not date for long after he moved in. I wasn't sure which of us would end it, but it is completely ridiculous to think that you can live with, and date, a person that you are not in love with (and is not in love with you).
I've been told that most friends...particularly girls...are no longer friends after they've lived together. I did not want to lose a good friend, or go on roommates.com and worry every night about getting stabbed in the neck, so it seemed like a good idea to minimize the risks by accepting this proposal.
Almost everyone that I've told has had the same shocked and disgusted reaction, but it truly isn't as bad as it sounds. We are friends and really didn't date for long. We are not in love because as I said before, there is no reason to love and/or cherish anyone but yourself.
However, to add to the apparent horror of the situation, I've never had a roommate before :)

So you thought this was a good idea? I guess it's easier for us to look objectively and give advice. How does one date their roomate, but 'see' other people on the side. If this doesn't spell recipe for disater than nothing would.
Good luck to you. Something tells me you need a strong man in your life, one that won't take any shit from you. I sense you like to be in control which means you need someone who you can't control.
I love giving advice to Uberites. Keep us posted!!!

Seriously though, it's for the best. This way you can have casual sex if either of you feel the need for hug/fuck Until eventually one of you does haul some confused mate into the bedroom and start making loud fuck.
Or far, far worse: the soft noises and not coming out of bedroom for days fuck.
Then the whole situation will become untenable.
