My housemate is really upsetting me at the moment and I'm getting sick of her.
Basically, she's really rude. Whenever Im trying to watch a program I like on tv, she'll sit down and talk really loudly over it about how crap it is. She always brings her weird friends into our house and they're here CONSTANTLY. I feel like a guest in my own house sometimes. All my other housemates are friends with these people too tho, so I cant really say anything. She is always throwing all night parties and I find it impossible to sleep.
The other day I found out from my other housemate that she's been saying really nasty things about my boyfriend. We've been together about a year, and to my face shes always saying how glad she is for us, and how much she likes him etc. But behind my back shes very spiteful about his looks (he has a bit of acne and shes really cruel about it). I dont know why she has to be such a bitch, as hes never done anything nasty to her. Its completely unprovoked and now I feel really angry, as I never target her boyfriends. What gives her the right to be so nasty about someone I really care about?
I dont know whether its jealousy that makes her act like this or something else. She may just want to get to me. Shes going through a rough patch with her new boyfriend (they've only been together about a month). Shes the sort of girl that demands attention constantly and throws a fit when she doesnt get it. Her last boyfriend was pretty much a lapdog, whereas this one seems to have his own mind.
Her dad is just as bad. Whenever he comes to visit, he really slags my boyfriend off - and hes only met him once, when he happened to be there at the start of term! Hes like an older version of her. I heard them one night bitching about me, saying I was 'uneducated' and basically a chav.
I'm finding it really hard to hold my feelings in. If i see her, Im worried I'll just end up having a go at her. Shes one of the nastiest people I've ever met and Im finding it difficult to live with her. Should I confront her about what shes been saying behind my back about my boyfriend?
(Bit of background info...I've never really got along with her but I have always been civil to her. I ended up living with her this year (2nd year) as we needed an extra person from halls to fill a room in our house and she gets on with all my other housemates so she was the obvious choice. I thought it wouldnt matter much, as I get on with most of my other housemates, but right now its getting too much.)
