Fucking Christ, how hard was that? I mean, I know I sound like a dick doing this, but really: I had to read your post like four times before I got a grasp on the situation, and I'm STILL not sure I got everything. Please, read what you wrote before posting it next time.Dosvidonya said:So me and my friends are renting a house. Unfortunately, it's a bit complicated. There are a total of six of us, and the house holds five people. To make things worse, the fourth room is a bit small and the fifth room is more of a closet. Fortunately, two of our group will be abroad at any given time over the next year, leaving only four of us back in the house.
Unfortunately, one of my friends screwed up and can't go abroad. So, she asked to live with us in the house. Unfortunately, this brings our group up to five, which means that someone has to move into the closet room. I volunteered to make things easier, and it seemed like things had worked themselves out. But then I found out that (through no fault of my own) I can't go abroad, either.
So, I asked my friends if I could stay in the closet room for the whole year instead of just the first semester. But they've all refused to take the small room if they don't get the closet room, too. They've essentially told me I have to move out after the first semester to accommodate this. I'm getting really frustrated and not sure what to do. I would appreciate any advice you guys can give me.
Anyway, I'm not just here to act like an asshole and correct people, I have advice as well: Everything is simpler if you guys just stick to the plan, and don't let in an extra person in the first place. Meaning, don't let this girl move in. Don't move into the closet room. If someone has to be kicked out of the house, that person should be her (the one who screwed up), not you. If these people are really your friends, they'll see that.
But honestly? If you've been totally honest about the whole situation, then I have a hard time believing that these people are actually your friends. I don't know what kind of "concessions" they've been making for you, but they must be pretty awesome if you're even considering sticking around after this shitty treatment. Real friends would figure something out that works for everyone (which is sounds like you're trying to do), they wouldn't just kick you out for a damn closet.
