This has been on my mind and I had to get it written out. So my best friend and I were talking the other day. Well, technically texting. But I was considering that not for this coming year but next year to maybe live off campus. I asked if he wanted to live with me again.
He said he wouldn't mind but that he wouldn't want to if I didn't have a job or had my parents pay for rent.
I can understand that he would want me to be a bit more responsible and take up a job, so that's kinda understandable, although given my bad time management, a job is not optimal for me to focus on my academics (lol me focusing on academics? Good one).
But the other one? Saying he wouldn't my parents to pay for it? Again, I get it that I should be responsible and be able to pay for it myself, but at the same time, who cares where the money for the rent comes from? Why does it matter? If it gets paid, he doesn't have to worry about covering me for the month and then have to get paid back.
I'm honestly a little shocked. I would've thought he wouldn't mind without setting conditions, given the fact that we've gotten along pretty well for the 1.5-2 years we did live with each other.
If these are still conditions in the future, I'm going to put him on the back burner and just stay on campus. I'd hate to do that, but at the same time, it's dumb for him to set this conditions.
