I moved in last year with my best friend and his close friend from when he was a kid [I'm a girl]. We lived together for a year and yeah, there were your standard disputes and arguments. Of course there will be. It was our first time having our own place, living with one another, and my first time living with 2 guys not from my family. But we all got along great and we all had so much fun together. My best friend and I had most of the arguments because we're so much like brother and sister, we knew how to push each other's buttons. My other roommate and I got along fantastically and had only one serious fight, but that was fixed within a day. I learned so much and the best part was that they were willing to do anything, all the time, because the 3 of us loved to hang out. We teased one another a lot and joked around, watching the craziest of shows and having friends down from upstate for parties [where they're from].

My one roommate moved back upstate and now my best friend had his girlfriend move in back in June. She's been living off and on with us since December, but it was official a couple months ago. That situation is pretty hairy, just because it's always uncomfortable for me in that apartment now because they're doing the PDA thing or just being together which makes me feel great. I'm always the 3rd wheel and feeling out of place. We've talked about it a few times but things haven't changed, and they probably will continue to stay the same. My best friend and I still get along great but it's all sketchy since he's gotta worry about me and her.

My advice: DON'T EVER MOVE IN WITH A COUPLE.

I could never live with all females, but I'd live with 2 guys again in a heartbeat.

And living with my best friend has only made me realize how much of a great person he is. He's been there for me when I really needed him and now we work together as graphic designers, so we still have a pretty tight friendship. It really depends on the person though, because when you live with a very close friend, that's when you realize how good or bad of a person they really are. I guess I got lucky and found someone fantastic.
