Top tips on making roommate living simple

Thursday, July 24, 2008

While it may not look like it on the surface, living with a roommate isn’t much different than living with a spouse or lover. Communication and honesty are the most important parts of any relationship, whether it is a friendship, a marriage or even a partnership between roommates. Here are a few essential tips for getting along with your roommate better.

Before you move in with your roommate, you should have a system in place to resolve disputes. If you have a problem with your roommate, it is never a good idea to ignore it and let it fester. The sooner you talk about the issue and resolve it, the happier both parties will be in the long run. Just like you can’t let things fester is a romantic relationship, you can’t let them go with a roommate either.

Try to divide up housework duties so that each person does an equal amount of work. Of course, this is easier said than done, but if you can divide up things like dusting, vacuuming and other chores, one person won’t feel like they are doing everything. If it turns out that one person in the apartment is a bit of a slob while the other person is a neat freak, you might want to rethink your arrangement.

Finally, try cooking meals together so that there are only one set of dishes that are dirtied every night. Of course, you will have to determine who pays for what raw ingredients, but it can be a great way for roommates to bond, communicate and air any grievances.
