Suggestions anyone????
I am 25 and moved in with a friend that I had met through a previous job after college. We have been friends for nearly 3 years now. I needed a roommate and her roommate got engaged and was getting married so we decied to move in together. I let her know before I moved in that I am typically very busy and am not home much. I visit my parents and have a boyfriend that I usually stay with on the weekends. I thought she would enjoy having the place to herself. We also split everything 50/50. We are both very tidy and have no problems in that department. I thought we would get along just fine...until she made some new friends at work. One morning at nearly 5am she brought home a group of friends totally drunk and very loud. hey were all aware that I was home that evening. I tried to ignore it but I had to work the next day so I went into our common area and asked them if they minded being a little more quiet so that I could sleep. Our apartment is only two bedrooms with a common area so I can hear everything. Upon being asked to quiet down one of the friends cussed me out and then they both started yelling at my boyfriend who had done nothing. They also proceeded to call other people to invite over and started talking really badly about me. They told me I was rude to even think of asking them to be quiet and that I should just deal with it. I hardly knew the people my roommate had brought over. I couldn't believe it. The next day my roommate sort of apologized but she really tried to act like it was my fault. I told her that I didn't want to see her "friend" that had cussed me out again and that if she was coming over to let me know so that I could go elsewhere. Am I out of line? I tried to to talk to her about it and it helped for a while but everything is awkward and tense. I explained to her that I don't mind her having company but just not at 5am. She hates my boyfriend for no reason and makes negative remarks about my friends that she has never even met. She will call them losers for no reason. I have no idea how to handle her behavior. She is rude and totally thoughtless. We have had neighbors complain and her reasoning is that if someone wants peace and quiet they should buy a house and not rent an apartment... She always tells me stories about how her friends get kicked out of places and how she thinks it is funny to be a bitch to people... I typically say nothing but I really don't know how to handle this any more. I hate to lose a friend but I am completely uncomfortable in my own home. She will be hateful to me for no reason. My lease with her is up in 3 months but I am even worried to tell her I am moving becuase I'm sure she will try to make our time living together hell. Any suggestions??
