Roomate

[bmj09]

Hey guys. I have a former roommate that seems to want to hang out all the time. We are good friends but don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. But we were petty close friends in college when we lived together but now I would like to have more time to myself/other friends. It seems like he is always asking me to come over on the weekend and it's just too much. Also he will make fun of you if you don't want to hang out or will badger you. Honestly with how difficult it is it almost makes me not want to be friends with him at all sometimes. Its like he is codependent. I honestly don't want to lose him as a friend but I feel like its time to enter the adult world and branch out and meet other people.

Agree with CML2014...................tell him what you've posted here.

Good luck.

  .......and what is wrong with you telling him exactly what you posted here.

His behavior is threatening the good friendship you had. He needs to know  you have a life that includes sharing time with OTHER people not just him.

I can tell you this if you allow this to go on without talking about your concerns GOOD FRIENDS will not be the term you will use to describe this relationship in a very short time.
Talk to him NOW! You have every right to your feelings on this, he makes fun of you to intimidate you--yea, that's a real nice friend you got there.
