I (m27) have been living with my roommate (m27) since February. I went through a messy breakup and he gave me a place to stay with reasonable rent. From the day I moved in he’s been overwhelming and insufferable to be around.
I should start off saying that I typically stare in my room and stay out of his way. I work 7am to 6pm every day and I’m barley ever home. i also struggle with bipolar disorder but have my disorder under control with the use of medication and therapy. I’ve progressed a lot over the last 2 years.
The first thing he asked was how long I wanted to live there followed by “it’d be nice if you lived here for 3-4 years, that way I have a reason to invest time in this place” I told him I didn’t know how long I’d live there but he is insistent I live there for 3+ years.
The second instance was him blaming me for things he does. He smokes every night/does edibles, which is fine. I have no issue with that but he will do something like leave the fridge door open or download a bunch of games and when the internet gets charged an overage fee then get blamed for it.
When I moved in I had a few small boxes that I couldn’t fit in my room so I put them in the garage out of the way, he bought all new appliances and put the old ones in the garage and tells me my stuff is cluttering the space.
I am going to lose it. Please tell me how to fix this.

Move
I agree…move!
Look for a different place, and don’t stay because of this guy’s project to “invest in this place”. You’ll find many better places where people are friendlier. Next time try to spot red flags before you move in.
If you are miserable now, imagine how you will feel 3 years from now.
Maybe you can’t move out this minute but start looking for new places! If you need to, begin saving up & storing your things in a storage unit. Leave when your lease is up. Good luck!!
