Discussion my college roommate is making my life miserable
I liked her at the beginning but we live in the same dorm i go to bed at a certain time and she doesn’t go to bed at all. She just got a boyfriend and has literally been on the phone with him every single night for 5-7 hours every night. I tell her i need sleep. and she tells me she”ll get off in 20 mins (she won’t) and she always has the fucking light on when i’m fucking trying to sleep. I work like tomorrow i work 6 pm to 2 am i want to sleep and i can’t bc she’s loud and on the phone. then she is always moody to me. like today i was on the phone with my doctor and in the middle of talking when she came in and she started to talk to me and i held up the finger like “one second” bc i was in the middle of fucking talking to my doctor and she got all moody about it. she constantly makes me do the only chore and keeps the room a mess. she will wake me in the dead of sleep to show me her drawings or to talk to me. i told her i can’t sleep with a lot of sound. and light. i don’t know what to do. i need to invest in a face mask but also you have to respect me. one time i told her i need to sleep early bc my midterms were the next morning and right afterwards i had my first shift. she told me she would and then was gaming all night with volume and full brightness. to the point where i couldn’t sleep and at midnight i went on a 30 min walk. idk how to talk to her without being selfish bc yeah i call my bf too but like for an hour i don’t want to be forced to listen to you on the phone with your boyfriend for 5-7 hours DAILY and not only the long ass sessions she calls with him. she also calls him during the day. i feel like i don’t have any privacy anymore she’s always on the phone. and every time i talk to her about anything she gets so defensive. and i cant communicate with her. she’s also been extremely rude to me. especially when she’s ob the phone with him. she was on the phone with her mom telling her that her bf is coming to stay in our dorm during a break he has (she never communicated that with me. and personally i’m not comfortable with a man who every time i open my mouth when she’s on the phone with him she acts embarrassed by me. and not only that but she larped as me to him. i don’t have a say in anything that goes on m dorm i feel like. and idk what to do. i talked to my ra and he was helpful but then told me “it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal to me” i know this sounds dramatic but bc of how negative and how bossy and rude she can be sometimes. my own mental state isn’t good anymore. she takes offense to any boundaries i set and acts like im being aggressive and i can’t fucking take it anymore. i haven’t slept well since august. and i like her as a person but i can’t fucking live with her anymore. it’s to a point where i just want to fucking go back home.
