Ahh the memories. Last year one of my best friends and I from high school decided to live together in the freshmen dorms. Big mistake. Not long after, his girlfriend (now fiance) practically moved in with us. You don’t respect privacy enough until you can’t even change in your own dorm room.

It was bad. I got really upset a couple times and told him flat out that I didn’t like it. Nothing changed, and needless to say we don’t room together this year and our friendship is absolutely nothing like it used to be.

First, I think that the friends thing can work — and when it works, it usually works well… but too many times it just leads to problems.

I think I’d add to your list that its difficult to hold friends accountable — when you’re with a stranger or less-than-friend, its easier to get upset with them for failing to meet their share of responsibilities.

I met a guy my freshman year of college and we we became great friends. We also had the same circle of friends. We both agreed to room with each other the next year. During that year we became annoyed by each others’ flaws and habbits and seeing each other basically 24/7. After that year of rooming with each other our friendship has weakened and we talk with each other maybe once a month.
