I was under the impression OH was slightly homophobic, which is why he disliked the new roommate, but then you say you are gay. That being said, climbing into bed with somebody you aren't dating with the intent to seduce them is never a good idea, no matter how often it works in Romantic Comedys. I’m confused….

Old Housemate. Like he said. Eddy: “OH” stands for … Old Housemate. Like he said.

You can choose any name you want, and you stick a couple of letters together that very well could be someone's initials, and that's it? Dumb.

I've worked with plenty of people I don't like. I've always made sure my roommates are people I *both* like and can get along with, even if we're not close friends. @tronner – very true.

Well, there would be no “Myveryworstroommate.com” if that happened!

Why OH disliked the offender is beyond us, but you don't have to like someone to get along with them. It happens at work every day with the snarky brat that has to question everything you eat or the office pervert that has insanely lame jokes. You don't have to like an individual to get along in business. And roommates are serious business. That's why we have this site ;) NEJoy, the OP “talked to them both about acceptance and tolerance” and while OH disliked the individual, he accepted him moving into the house.

It's stupid to have someone move in without the approval of other roommates. No, you can't predict everything that might happen, but this is still pretty iffy.

One can't predict how things will turn out when interviewing room mates-- if they could, this site wouldn't exist.
