I don’t know why my message posted twice up earlier in the tag, I guess it had to be reviewed and sent again. I do apologize for anyone who had to read it twice.
As you all are saying, yes, this thread is entirely about sex. Because that’s what the topic of the thread originally is about, lol. This thread surely doesn’t represent me as a whole. I didn’t pay x amount of money in tuition and other expenses just to come and have sex in my dorm. I have other things on my mind, of course, but since this thread is about my issue with my roommate and sexual relations, that’s all that I’ve been posting about. I don’t want to go too off topic and rant. If I have another serious issue I’ll make a new thread. But I haven’t had one lately that I couldn’t talk through and solve on my own.
I understand that education comes first when you come to college. And as I said before, I’ve hardly been focusing on sex in the first place. The only time I actually think about it is when I come to read this thread actually. It may be a part of my experience in college, or it may not. i’m just trying to get everything sorted out before I even think about engaging with another person right now. And speaking as classes have begun on campus, I want to again emphasize that my college life is not revolving around sex.
I talked to the RA last night about the room and my state with my roommate. She agreed that I was doing most of the compromising, I plan to sit down with my roommate this evening and talk to her about the room, our sleeping habits, and such. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice during that update. my RA had some very similar points when I told her the ordeal.
I’ve come to my own conclusion with how to deal with my roommate. So basically this thread should be resolved. I have learned my lesson about CC as well. not sure if i’ll come here looking for help anymore. thanks though.
Willing to bet that of the students who have had sex while in college, the vast majority of them had it in their dorm room at least once. Oh the horror of it all.
Presumably not over their roommate’s religiously-based objections.
Did you talk about the locks?
Hi all, another (maybe final) update. I sat down and spoke to her last night. I told her that i like my space, what little of it I have, and she agreed that her stuff was migrating around the room. She seemed very responsive to everything I told her, and she promised to do better. She also said that the morning routine doesn’t bother her, though I think that it still causes her to lose sleep. I also talked to her about the locks. We still have a long way to go with that one. She has locked it each time she goes out, but has yet to do it when she comes in for the night (long after i’ve gone on to sleep). Thank you all for your help. If I have any other problem, I’ll look for advice soon.
Thank you.
Glad you talked to your roommate and that she was responsive. Kudos to you both for communicating openly. Always the best path, IMO, over passive-aggressive behavior or holding things in. Good luck to you!
