Newlywed with room-mates...just need consolement
I love my husband, puts a smile on my face just thinking of him.
My DH and I are spending our second year renting a house. In the Fall and Winter and most of Spring its great. But in the Summer the landlord lives there.
She loves us. She thinks we are like her kids... she's my aunt's cousin. Never met her until we moved in but apparently she knows all about my family.
She wants to feed us and talk to us ALL the time. First summer was awful and she ended up staying until October...thats not summer anymore...
This year she brought a gay friend with her. He's really cool and a great cook. But still house is REALLY crowded now. My brother is also spending the summer here with his cat. My DH and I have a dog and a cat.
She really should pay her friend. He has cleaned her house and re-organized so much for her.
We managed a rent drop for the summer since there are so many people here now, but looks like she may let her friend rent the place after she leaves for the fall.
My DH and I just go married and I am sick and tired of having room-mates! My brother isnt too bad. The landlord is moving all of our stuff around, asks us to help move her stuff around and wants our attention too much. Im not here to keep her company! Its a little better with her friend here as he keeps her company. And he is better about giving us space than she is.
The other part is we are raising a pup for a to be a service dog and he is getting the short stick because none of them can seem to understand the rules he has. He's getting really confused and falling behind in his training....
Sigh.
Im going crazy.
Its cheap but I really dont think I can mentally handle this much longer. I've gained 15lbs and am hiding in my room all the time and spending every weekend at the in-laws house....
Any tips on coping...or commiseration...we havent saved up enough to get a house yet....

Move out. It may cost more $$ but it will save your sanity.
Why did you feel it necessary, though, to mention her "gay" friend? What does his being gay have to do w/ any of this?

Agreed with all. Is there something stopping you from moving out and getting your own place?
