Me 1 year on pt2.

[hotwheelsaust]

Rant time, so no need to tell me what to do or 2 x4's. :-)

Because I am in accommodation through work, when the WAS walked out, I was given another flatmate within 2 weeks of her going. This flatmate is simple an arrogant ****ole. People who have previously had him sharing have all said the same things, no one wants to share with him.
Over the last year, I have constantly been told what I am doing wrong. From how to clean (which he only does his room), to spending too much time on the computer, to not going out enough, to how long I practice or don't practice the guitar. He spends all his time at the house, in his room, apart from cooking time. Since all my W's and I belongings were in the house, my computer is out in the loungeroom along with the tv etc. So I spend a lot of my time in the main room that he would walk past all the time.
Today he told me, I am not angry, but you will need to leave the next day after school finishes. I do not want you staying here any longer as I want to enjoy my summer vacation time.
I have been friendly as possible to him, said hello whenever we see each other and all I got back was a mmmph. Unless he decided he wanted to talk about something, then I couldn't shut him up for hours.
He complains that I need to clean the garage, bathroom and vaccuum the floors. I have done that regularly, but certainly don't see him doing any of it, apart from his own room.
Anyway, the end of the story is, while this has played a huge part on my emotional side during the last year of being separated. It has also opened my eyes to seeing how the W may have viewed me as being. While I didn't complain about her cleaning or doing things, just the attitude that the flatmate has, is probably what I was like.
So, my focus has been on not being like this person ever again.

ps: I know I could discuss terms of sharing etc. But the reality is I only have 6 weeks and 2 days to go. It is and will be easy to just deal with his whinging and complaining every so often when it happens.

Rant over.
