Question:

Should I let my best friend move-in?

As with most females, me and my best friend have a love-hate relationship.

I love her dearly and she has a good heart, but a lot of the things she does get on my LAST nerve!

The thing is, I recently relocated to San Diego for school. This up and coming school year I am getting my own apartment. She wants to come stay with me in January because she is having hard times at home. She was engaged recently and the guy ended up cheating on her. Her and her mother have become estranged because her mother relies on her for money because she lost her job due to having cancer and needing chemotherapy.

We've been friends for 7 or 8 years and we've gone through a lot together. I don't mean to sound selfish but I enjoy my privacy and solitude, which is why I don't want roommates anymore. I know this is different because her and I actually know each other, I'm just worried this may not work out and we'll end up clashing and not being friends anymore. At the same time I don't want to leave her in the dust, I know how bad she wants to live in San Diego because where we are from is dead-end.

What should I do?

  1. Reach a compromise.

    Allow her to stay while she's finding an apartment. Or just help her find a place nearby.

    But when best friends (especially girls) move in together, it always winds up bad.


  2. If she gets on your last nerve just hanging out together, imagine what will happen if she never "goes home" - she's there already, it's your place.

    This sounds like a recipe for a destroyed friendship to me...
