it was like everything was a competition, everything had to be a discussion....she knew everything about everything..i realized later she was VERY toxic...it was like i loved her but hated her. and sometimes i wanted to smash her head in the wall...and others she was my best friend, and understood everything so well.
she was always sarcastic with me, and after a while it started to get weary on me...then i started getting mean back...she'd left her husband and thats why we moved in together, then she was getting back with him, but started sleeping with her personal trainer (which i didn't care, but her son who was 3 at the time was in the hospital with cronic illnesses...on what we thought was his death bed...and she was sleeping with this dude i knew was a joke..who i later worked with, becuase i became a trainer as well..and he was a horrible guy to know)
anyway, he sounds like he's controlling...and that really sucks that he's like that, it makes living with somemone very difficult, i moved out of my living situation within about 2 months, becuase my old roommate was not only abusive and very jealous..if i'd talk to other people or go to someone else's house...but she was i think boarderline insane..no joke...
but if you can afford it, and not in a lease (i was in a lease at the apartments we lived at, but the managers didn't like her either, and let me out of it) i'd find another roommate, it's toxic, and i can totally understand wanting to be around your friend, even though it can be torture sometimes. i had to live with my mom for about 2 or 3 weeks, then got MY OWN place, and loved it! it was a studio, with a fireplace, and my daughter and i were very happy there!! it was a nice calm change!!
