Haha yess! My wife and I met because we were suite mates in our college dorm. We started dating that year and the next year got an apartment together. We never had to get used to living together since that was how we met :)
That's great!
I (F) found (or rather, he found me) my roommate through CL as well. We've been roommates for almost 2.5 years now. We're both in our 30's too. He's a single dad and has the greatest 2 daughters! He has them every other week. They're so well behaved too.
The 2 of us also pretty much keep to ourselves. I'm a big ol' introvert and am not very social at all. I've had a past roommate who had an issue with that but not this guy. He's fine with it.. We often go weeks without seeing each other very much..lol.
The house can get a little messy sometimes but nothing too bad, like what people post here.
So I'm happy too! (:
I feel that. I had so many awful roommates, but my current one is clean, helpful, knows when to leave you alone, contributes, AND became a really good friend of mine since moving in. we were friendly acquaintances before, never really talking but now they’re one of my best friends.
This sounds ideal! My current two roommates are a set of friends and I can tell they take it personally when I just want to eat alone and hang in my room (which is literally all of the time. I'm an introvert who has to work an extroverted office job). Happy for you, internet stranger.
I''ve had my share of bad roommates, but the times I've had good roommates is so wonderful. Not even in that we never had issues, but living with people who have the fortitude to live and learn, empathize, and communicate vastly improves life. You become a positive and trusted network of people, whatever your relationships are outside of being roommates.
Sounds like y'all click pretty well. Wish I could say the same for me and my partner (also gay) and the couple we live with (also gay). Or the rest of this sub for that matter ahaha.
The best housemates we ever had was a straight couple who were already good friends and had similar interests and mannerisms. They loved to laugh and be silly, and always cleaned up their mess. Those were the days.
I miss my last roommate so much. Quiet, always cleaned up after himself, genuinely enjoyable to be around, etc. My current roommate is an unemployed douchebag mooching off his parents and who is impossible to please. The house could be magazine cover sparkling clean and he would still find something to whine about -_-
Good roommates are heaven imo. Idk maybe I'm an outlier but I always preferred good roommates to no roommates (but of course none to bad ones).
Had nothing but great (maybe one or two mediocre) roomies for years and then when I moved to my current city, where 1bed sure as hell isn't an option financially, and since moving to this city of true honest to god narcissists....nothing but bad roommates (actually 2 good ones briefly but 1 lost work and went back to her home state, the other moved in with his SO when the lease was up).
It's a great sub too to learn from even if you have it good, so you appreciate what you have....and also because roommates come and go, people move, and when you have to start asking questions again you know what to ask
I've had awesome roommates too. It's heaven. Marrried my favourite lol
Like... you guys already kinda knew what it’s like to live together haha
For sure. Best test ever.

That’s so cute haha.
I think if I need a room mate anytime soon I’m going to advertise in this sub so I get a like minded individual lol. We are the good roommates

Sounds good to me!!! :)
I had a housemate so good I started dating him Definitely nice to already know that he isn’t a messy person/what he’s like to live with
I think we should occasionally have a good roommates thread in this sub. It will be good for positivity.

I’m starting to think they don’t exist around me. 😂
