[Frank Grimes]

,

,,
a few friends suggested we should move in together. it seems pretty cool and all but even though there good friends im affraid we might start hating each other to death. or have our friendship fall out. anyway. who has moved in with friends and whats it like?

i have thought about it before, but like you mentioned after a while you will probably get annoyed of each other after a while. it would probably be cool at first but then you'd get sick of each other

 

[PuffnScruff]

i promise you will get annoyed with each other plenty of times. one of my current roommmates had a friend he had known since grade school. lived with him for a few years and now he hates his guts. then again my room mate is weird.

it just depends you and your friends. if you all respect each other then everything should go smooth.

Do you know how these people are at home? What I mean is, do you know all their little idiosyncrasies? Really it depends on how tolerant you are. If there is any little anything they do that gets on your nerves, chances are it'll get worse when you live together because you'll be dealing with it on a daily basis. If you think you're tolerant enough to put up with the little things that aggravate you, you'll be fine. If not, best not do it because if it starts bothering you to the point where you wanna leave, then there's gonna be resentment between y'all if you leave them with all the expenses.
If you decide to do it, good luck, hope everything works out for y'all.

I loved living with my mates, arguing is half the fun. The only thing I found we would argue about was cleaning.

Abscence makes the heart grow fonder. hmm good message in that

Go to boarding school. Then you'll truly know what it's like living with friends 24/7.

I'd hate to live with my friends lol. I'd go mental. I'm the type of person where if I spend too long with someone I just end up being annoyed by them :/

I've been wanting to move out with my best friend, but I cant imagine that going wrong because we know each other so well and are quite similar in our lifestyles. I have kinda been a little worried though, I dont wanna mess up the friendship (coz I've heard people say its not a good idea) - but then again, it may strengthen it, who knows. I think Luv4Pac4Ever is right though, there are probably plenty of little idiosyncractic faults hiding under the surface, waiting to be discovered, but yeah, tolerance can resolve that. I figure if there are a few ground rules or whatever in place from the outset, then that may help avoid problems arising.

(same.)

I suppose it depends on your personality as much as it depends on the person(s) you're moving in with. For example, me, if I hang around with someone or live with someone for a long time, even a couple weeks, I have a really bad habit of picking out their flaws and focusing only on those flaws, thus amplifying them. I guess you know where I'm going.

Anyway - like I said - it all depends on your personality and you as much as it does the people you'll be moving in with.

It all boils down to annoyance.
If you live together and that person starts to annoy you, it's gonna be bad. From that moment, everything he does will annoy you. Annoyance will turn to hate etc.

How well do you know your friend? Think of every little thing about him that annoys you. Now picture living with him. Will you be in contact with the things that annnoy you a lot? If so, don't move in with him.
Most importantly, have you ever spent a week or more together? Did you at any moment want to get away from him?

Just read Luv4Pac4Ever's post, follow her advice. Same basic thing only she explained it better.

My brother moved in with a friend (and me) and that guy turned out to be the worst person to live with. My brother HATES him now. And so do I.

The same happened with me. That guy didn't do shit, didn't wanna pay for anything and after only 1 week i kicked him out. Me and my brother live for a year together now. Even though we have had arguments, it's much easier to live with your brother then with most of your friends, cuz we been knowing each other for 20 years now.

Exactly. The guy never cleaned the kitchen/toilet/bathroom, never cleaned up after himself, left shit in our room. And the worst thing was, he's the one making the house dirty. When he makes food, there's shit everywhere. The retard uses the biggest knife we have to put mayonaise on his sandwiches and then he just puts the knife down and leaves it there, rather than putting it in the sink so there isn't mayonaise everywhere.
I can go on for a day why I hate the guy.

That's is much more disgusting then this guy was... Maybe i was too harsh naaaaw After he came from work, he was always putting his dirty body over a brand new white couch, wich turned into brown after a few days.

 

[Emma]

haha Chron I remember you telling me about him. If that's the same guy.

I'd hate to live with someone like that. And I'm not the type to really tell someone if they're pissing me off, unless I lose my patience.
Actually he sounds like my older brother.

I moved in with a friend, his mother and his bro (Wally112). It was cool really. We lived together for 8 months, did grade 12 and then moved out here to Toronto.

We really hardly had any problems, then again, we are best friends and have never let anything get in the way of our friendship.

I wouldn't suggest moving in with just any friend, but someone you've known for a long time and trust your life with... that's the only way I'd say go for it.

 

[haunted]

It really matters how much you know the person. Also how big is the space you are living in? If its a small ass apartment and you dont have any space you are going to hate it.
