Q: Do you feel comfortable that your flatmate brings his date back almost everyday?
I share apartment with a polish guy. He brings his gf back home almost everyday. It just made me very uncomfortable as I feel less space to have another person at home.
How would you feel?
Viki you need to get out more and live life
your not trying to hit on you flat mate are you?
Why dont you join a social club or sporting club and get out and meet people
on the bright side if all else fails you could always join the dancing Aunties.

I was in a similar situation once.
A flatmate basically had her boyfriend living in my place.
I didn't mind him staying over, even if it was most nights but when I was always having to move his crap off the sofa, walk around his mountain bike which was parked inside even though he never used it and there was no room in the fridge for my food I realized he had effectively moved in but was paying no rent.
I wasn't cool with that.
philbravery:
don't just tell half a story .what was the final outcome?
Stiggs:
I don't remember what the final straw was,but I got home one night and the boyfriend had done something that really pissed me off. If he was paying rent I would have put it down to part of sharing a place with people, but he wasn't so.....
I had been thinking about moving into a better area for a while, so I did. I had a mate with a cool house in a better part of town who was looking for a flatmate so I called him, it was arranged about two minutes later.
Told them I was sick of it and moving that week and since the place we lived in was in my name they would have to figure something out for themselves too.
Living with flatmates is just plain awful. If I'm not in a relationship with someone then I don't want to live with them. I'd rather pay more and live alone or move to a smaller place.
ScotsAlan:
Same here. I need my own space. When I was in the UK, I tried to help a few guys out by offering them the spare bed, but it never worked out. One of them ate all my food and drank all my beer, another left nasty brown streaks on my bath towels because he did not realise he was supposed to actually wash his arse. Much better to have your own space if you are single.
This sort of crap comes with the territory when you share a flat with peasants.
Did you have your fingers crossed that the pole would open a window to a sea of white schlong? Yeah, well that was a big fail.
It's time to face the fact that foreigners just aren't into the try-hard wannabe laowai sychopantic type. You know the foreigner who sucks up to Chinese people and pushes themselves onto the locals trying to be more Chinese than Chinese. It's sad and annoying.
Grab the first farmer who looks at you sideways and tell him you're up the duff. You gotta hurry up, the clock is ticking.
I am so sick of sharing with people.
I am looking for a single apartment now. I'd rather paying a bit more to get this shit out of my life.
Enjoy my own space after a long tiring day of work. I can make the balance by cooking more if I pay more rent.
if u share with someone, u need good psichological skills (eg empathy:..). I ve never had any issue, i can really see through people, maybe travellling a lot and working in a bar before helped or maybe is just me. But seriously empathy is something chinese people really dont have...
I should do HR...hahaha
