I asked a friend of mine I've known since childhood if they would like to look for a place to rent together. She doesn't get along with her flatmate and is always complaining about it, and I'm sick of my dad. She said she'd think about it. Today she said that she didn't think moving in together would be a good thing as our routines and lives are so different, and that she has to go to bed at 10pm whereas I'm quite a late nighter, though I'm very quiet and Im not one to go out and get drunk.
I thought this seemed quite a random reason and thought it odd that she'd rather live with someone shes not friends with and doesn't get along. She said that although theyre not friends, they respect each other, as though implying that I would not. Obviously I can't force the issue and it's her decision, but I can't pretend I'm not somewhat hurt. I think the real reason she doesn't want to live with me is because I'm mentally unstable, though not in a way that affects or disturbs other people.
She said that she didn't want to ruin our friendship by getting into petty arguments about leaving the lights on at night, etc.
Should I just not bother and live with my dad forever? I don't really want to live on my own..
Edit: also she keeps saying how much she loves the area I live in and how she wants to move nearer to where I am, yet when I offer to look for a place together she doesn't want to?
