He's very lucky that you're so gracious-I'm pretty sure that already warrants both of those things! THREATEN him with restraining orders and public shame after he punched you in the face?

I've never been tempted to comment on one of these stories before, but this story really hit a nerve with me. I just wanted to say to the writer of this that I am so, so sorry you went through this, and I think it's awesome that you were able to gain strength from it instead of letting it ruin your sense of self-worth, which I think it would have done to me at that age. I'm generally the least corny person you'll ever meet, but something about this story just made me want to give you a hug and tell you I'm proud of you. Wow.

Small things suddenly become HUGE issues. Bunked with a whole dorm of 30 odd teenage girls for summer camp once, crap and drama is bound to happen. But obviously thats not all females and there are plenty of down to earth, drama free females out there that make great roomates.

But when males are bad roommates, they seem to do things that would be inconceivable to most females, i.e. shooting up a boat, burning down a shed, and above all acting like that was normal.

I'm glad you were able to leave. Some posters have been making comments such as, "guy roommates have issues just like girl roommates". As a guy, I've always felt that living with another guy is pretty intolerable. I'd like to think in the future I could get female roomates. What sort of problems do female roommates exclusively bring with them? They generally tend to be less sexist, don't have as much of a problem keeping neat, in my experience have clearly defined boundaries and keep out of others space.

A man knows how to treat others with respect. These low-lifes were none of the sort. KPH, kudos on getting out of that relationship. As a woman who's been there, done that, I know how hard it is. Hat's off to you, girl! TMS, don’t ever be ashamed to be a man. A man knows how to treat others with respect. These low-lifes were none of the sort. KPH, kudos on getting out of that relationship.
