Alright, so...first time posting.
My flat mate is 22, I'm a little older than him (still the right side of 30). His gf lives with us too, but she's not really part of the thing I need /adv/ on.
He whines...all the time. Everything is an "inconvenience" to him. me being in the bathroom when he needs it. Me using the kettle when he needs it. Me having friends over or asking for a little quiet so I can do work (I work from home).
I'm sick of feeling like I'm constantly "in his way", when really I'm not. We all pay equal rent and I can't help but feel (given his young age and his slightly arrogant attitude) that he's just being a diva.
What do?

dude hes probably depressed or going through something, don't be a dick and assume the worst about people. ask him whats wrong.
He sounds like a little asshole, don't put up with his immaturity. If it were me I would find a new roommate.

Almost this. Deal with each problem on a case-by-case basis. When he whines about X, confront him on it and tell him why it's not something he gets to whine about. When he whines about Y, do the same thing. Rinse and repeat until all issues are dealt with. If he goes back to whining about something you've already covered, move out or kick him out.

OP returns, sorry for disappearing. He's not depressed, we live in a major city and I think we all have quite high-stress environments, but I get the fuck on with it and he seems to kick up a fuss at the smallest things. He's also hugely possessive of the flat, despite the fact that we moved in at the same time, so it's "our" flat. He refers to things as "my" this, "my" that. Even told me I couldn't move a sofa (which I own) because he didn't want "his" living room to change.

I wrote >>18394197 but now I'm more firmly in the >>18393402 camp. Be the change you want to see. Move out.
