my crap situation ...

My god that Tashika is evil!

The only thing i can say is that life works like a balance, every cloud has a silver lining, the bad will turn good, don't worry. Good luck.

Can't wait to see ya on Judge Judy ;)

well all i have to say is good luck and and i hope you do the right thing... your friend should have left her a long time ago

Sorry to hear about your luck man. If I had a spare bedroom I'd let you come stay with me (if you could stand the Iowa cold that is). It's too bad that there are people in the world like Tashika. She sounds like a woman who needs to get her ass kicked once or twice to put her in line.

Yeah, roommates from hell... doesn't everyone love them?
My roommates suck too, I am trying to find a place for myself or with a good friend of mine to move to.

Anyway, you're doing the good thing... think about the baby and not that Tashika whore.

I hope you'll still be able to stay friends with that champ...

First off and foremost, take that beer and "stuff" money and save it for bills and your child. If you can manage your life AND pay your bills AND prepare for your new baby, and you have some leisure money left over, THEN—maybe— buy some Buds and some buds. Decide whether you want to rent intoxicants for a few hours or save for a house and a new car, or other things that will make you much happier in the long run.

I've had crappy roommates, and I've been a crappy roommate. I remembered, and I learned from those experiences. I'm sure it felt good for you to unload by writing out your frustrations here. Save the text so you can read it weeks, months and years from now, as a reminder of where you were and as a way to put some perspective on where you are and how far you've traveled and how much you've learned. Many of us older folks have worked our way through similar situations. What happenes is you get shat out the other end, hopefully having learned some valuable lessons, and with some clues about how to adjust your behaviors, choices and situation so that you're happier in the environment you create for yourself.

Thanks guys.

Wow, now that I look at all I wrote ... that's a pretty long post, haha. :D

Yeah crap roommates suck. I had a few roommates from hell. One brought the DEA and some dudes in sheriff jackets to the house. But make sure you have the life of your coming child in mind. Kids are the greatest and need at least one stable parent who can watch out for them. Sounds crazy. Best of luck to you.

Nothing wrong with that. History is full of people who use extensive writing as way way to facilitate examining where they're going with their lives and the choices they make. I do it, and I've never regretted spending the time and energy to do so.

sorry to hear about all that 02... glad youre finally leaving that hole, and getting on to some more serious stuff with rachel..

everyone hates selffish people, and yes, you do sound like a very, very patient man..

best of luck man.. go leave that b*tch on her own, with her boyfriend.. as long as he lasts that is..
