I moved in with my housemate a while back, after a bad break up. A year later, I got together with my bloke, but I'm still living with my housemate.
My housemate is great in a lot of ways But, she treats the space as hers - she'll take a long bath, or cook for an hour, if she feels like it, but she doesn't like me to do the same. She uses the ground floor and I'm only given space to use it when she's not there, though we pay the same rent. Every time I've sat down with my partner, she's found reason to tell us to go away - even though we were in the small room downstairs where we had shut the door, just so we could sit and watch something. We've never been able to sit down together in that house, except when my housemate was away.
Turns out, me being with my bloke upsets her so much, she can't cope. She actually told me off for touching his shoulder in front of her. She told me openly she can't feel happy because we are happy.
I don't know what to do. I can completely understand her feeling wretched after a bad break up, but I can't live this way. What can I do - prior to and other than moving out?
