Hi,
My friend from my church group asked me how many bedrooms i had and eluded to having her stay with me. I have 2 bed, 2 bath. I let her be my roommate becuase she said she only needed about 3 months or so to get back on her feet. Now, she talks about when my lease is up (way after 3 months) we can get a new apt or a house together so we can save money.
Now, she has the tv on all the time, uses the w/d way too much and takes long showers day and night. My electric is super high so I manually adjust the A/C. She started complaining and I told her that I can't afford a higher elec bill for the 3 MONTHS she will be here. I add "the 3 months" to every conversation so she can know I don't wnat to live as a rommmate longer that that. I work from home and allowed her my office to stay in. My boss is not too happy with that so she is hoping this will only be three months. Now my roomie has moved in all kinds of stuff that she originally said she would move into a storage and would only bring in the "bare esstentials" for the 3 month stay. She seems to be getting comfortable and now I stay in my room cuase I work a lot and to avoid her becuase she talks my ear off and I can't get any work done if I don't. I feel trapped in my own home. How and when do I bring up her looking for another place by the time the 3 months is gone?
