Well, you mentioned the lease in your cliffs. Who's name is on it?

Sadly, both. I have already talked to our management company, and there is no way that I can skip on the lease without forcing him to pay my half, which he could then sue me for.

Sounds like he's skipped on you.

He grabbed my wrist, as if he was able to control my actions beyond just blocking me behind a table. That's were I snapped. I ripped his hand off me, grabbed him by the shoulders, and slammed him into the wall. I then started to cuss him out whilst pointing at his face and chest. I wanted to punch the sh!t out of him right then and there. What the hell gave him the idea that he could treat my property like sh!t, and on top of that, act like he could treat me however the hell he wanted to?

Overreact much? I'm not surprised he is uncomfortable around you. You sound like an ashhole.

Why hello thar, George!

No, no. He is still living at the apartment, and I reckon that there will be a check on the refrigerator for his half of the bills pretty soon.

Well first off the way its written really makes it sounds like you are in a relationship or something like that so your whole post sounds very creepy. HAving said that, the way he is acting is even more creepy, thats just messed up. I would suggestg NOT letting him just keep on like this and instead confronting him about it. However if you are OK to live in such a situation than go with it, it really is your descision, nothing us here at ATOT can say/do to help you except to confirm that his actions are indeed very creepy and not right.

I think you need to sit down and have a face to face talk with him about the whole thing.

When I initially started typing the thread up, I thought to myself, "This really sounds like we are dating." Unfortunately, I found it impossible to effectively tell the story and describe his actions without it sounding like that.

He apparently thought we were in some sort of twisted roommate relationship. I'm going to be sick.

I tried knocking on his door to get him to come out and have a talk about the situation. He just turned his music up, and I respected his space and walked away. He very obviously does not want to talk to me or see me.

Edit: By the way, I just did this. As in, 5 minutes ago.

He will be forced to stop his hiding soon. Next Saturday, there is a party that we have both RSVPed for since we are both good friends with the host.

It should definitely be worth an update.

Do explain. I have tried to do everything, short of busting down his bedroom door and forcing him to talk to me. He totally stepped over the boundaries of being a cooperative roommate the second he thought I should buy myself food only to have him eat it. Repeatedly.

Dude man up and keep knocking on that door. Your hardly making an effort and being very much a coward. If you really wanted to settle this face-to-face, which is incidentally the BEST way to resolve this situation, you would make more of an effort than that.

Your taking the coward's way out of this situation. If you want to leave, then leave. If you want to work things out then go into his room and talk to him. If you want to whine and complain like a little girl then keep doing what your doing.

Keyword "both." I agree that he was being unreasonable if he was doing that with the food, but I think that you're overreacting to him being a jerk.

That said, I've put up with people like him my entire life, so maybe I can just handle a whole lot more of it than most people can.

So you're just locked into this lease until the end of the school year, right, or is it longer? It sounds to me like you can manage to make it for a couple of more months because most of the problems you were having aren't much different than the ones most people have with roommates after a while, except of course for the part about you thinking he might be interested in you.

I can't really tell if you're saying you're uncomfortable with being there now because you're still angry with him about the things that happened before or because of the way he's acting now. Clearly the two of you are not going to be able to be roommates after this school year, but in the meantime, his buying plates, pots and pans, etc. should alleviate some of the ways he was annoying you, and certainly you can make an effort to not get upset over some of the little things with the light at the end of the tunnel so close.

If the way he's acting now is what's so uncomfortable, you're going to have to take the first step to fix that because you're the one that hurt his feelings. Yes, I know he was a pain and you feel he deserved what you did to him, but that doesn't change the fact that as far as he's concerned he was just kidding around with you and you practically attacked him. If he won't talk to you, just write him a note saying that you're sorry you got so angry at him. That you should have talked to him about how all the little things he was doing were making you feel like he didn't have any respect for you or your property instead of just letting it keep building up. And that you appreciate him getting some of his own stuff to try to correct the situation and that you think that will really help.

Now I know that's a lot to ask of you, but it would probably help to make life in the apartment a little more normal than it's been lately. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then you're just going to have to tough it out with the way things are now until the end of the school year. Good luck!

Win. Just walk in and tell him what you told us... e.g. "we need to work out another arrangement for food, don't be messy, don't be gay... etc"

You are amazing, thanks for the thought out comments.

I'm mainly uncomfortable with how he is acting right now. I am very happy that he decided to buy his own kitchen stuff, but pretty bummed that I lost him as a friend. And you are right, I did pretty much attack him, and he didn't deserve that. That particular night was a very bad time to mess with me ... my girlfriend and I got into an argument about an hour before the incident, and I was pretty pissed off to begin with. He just pushed me over the edge with his attempt to control my actions.

I should apologize for the attack.
