Well, a co-worker that I love was saying because she wanted to move back home where her family is in another state, she handed in a notice to her roommate saying she was leaving in 60 days and that should give her enough time to find another person.
She said her roommate started crying and blaming her for her leaving, saying she was leaving her stranded and on and on. Her roommate is calling here at work every hour it seems freaking out over everything, utilities, etc. She keeps laying a guilt trip on her about her leaving. To me, it seems like worse than a marriage breaking up.
I feel so sorry for her. Has anyone else ever been through a situation like this? How about sharing a psycho roommate story I can show her?
It is strange. Sounds like she's dependent on your friend emotionally rather than financially. Guilt trip is mostlikely cause she doesn't want to be left alone.
Well I can empathize with the roommate being left behind, especially if you are in a big city and the rent is costly. It’s hard to go from paying 50% rent to the full amount. My sister is my roommate right now and when she leaves in a couple of months I’m in deep poo because I have to pay a whole lot that I can’t afford, so that means finding another place. Even though this girl’s behavior may be far fetched try and see it from her prospective. The only reason I’m letting my sister go without a guilt trip is because she’s throwing in the TV and other goodies from her closet.
It must be upsetting having to go to the bother of finding another acceptable flatmate (lots of strange people out there)
It sounds thats the the lady in question isnt really independent enough to look after her own affairs and would much rather the lady who is leaving do it for her.
Or she's just milking the situation and trying to get as much help and sympathy as she can.
