writes:Ive been living with my housemate for 3 years. At first all was ok as we were friends before we moved in. Slowly over time though we have become distant. We have very opposite personalities and politics which at first was fun but now is just irritating. I have tried to work things out a number of times but get no effort back from her. She is extremely negative, always moody and never has any interest in my life as a friend.Problem is we have a lot of friends in common so I dont want to fall out - it could ruin a lot of friendships. Its my house so I cant simply move on myself - I would have to ask her to leave. However as much as I hate her company she is only at home for half the week and ive never had any problems with her paying rent etc. I really hate being at home when she is there and feel constantly on edge but part of me thinks I should just put up with it. Any ideas or opinions appreciated.......

 Well needless to say... sounds like your going to have to choose either feeling on edge whenever your both home or possibly losing a couple frienships!?! You could sit down with her and talk about how her negative attitude affects you and if she agrees to change than you both win and if she gets mad and disagrees then tell her she needs to move out which is a win-lose situation for you and a lose situation for her! But your going to have to do something because its ridiculous to have to be on edge in your own house, if shes a good friend and room mate, she will understand and try to change, if not then shes not worth having as either! Good luck!
