I ate one biscuit out of a big packet that belonged to my roommate and he said things like “it’s so tough to get these biscuits” etc. The thing is that I would have never said that to him. I’ve told him that as long as it’s in the kitchen, don’t ask me before eating. He also constantly keeps asking me to switch off the kitchen and bedroom lights. Is my being annoying justified?

No. Stop eating his biscuits and turn the light off. 😂 wow.
If he was doing something that you didn’t like you would want him to stop. Just because you’re OK with it doesn’t mean he is.

And in this case just because you’re OK with it and he isn’t doesn’t mean he’s annoying and or a bad roommate either. Different strokes for different folks!

Sort of? I’m pretty similar to your roommate except I was good friends with my roommate so it was easier to communicate. Honestly, we just share anything that’s cheap to get like eggs or bread but I don’t understand why it’s so hard to just ask? And he sometimes forgets to turn light off overnight which is different cause I was raised not to waste food or electricity.
A lot of these things I feel like are small issues to be honest, I personally wouldn’t get annoyed over. A small compromise should do the trick

I would be a little annoyed but I guess now you know he isn’t as generous about sharing. Btw can you please let us know what type of biscuits? Must be good stuff

Stop eating his food. Make up house rules together. And if turning off the kitchen and bedroom lights are too burdensome, invest in some automatic light switches that detect if someone is not in the room.

Have you ever lived with anyone before? Just because you’re ok with someone doing something to you doesn’t mean they should be ok with it. You might not be compatible as roommates.

Also, he’s likely asking you to turn off the lights because you split electricity 50/50.

If you want to have a semi-comfortable living experience, either the two of you need to compromise or find more compatible roommates

His food is HIS FOOD. You shouldn’t be annoyed about asking permission to take something from someone.

Lights use energy that cost money. You leaving the light on Is like borrowing a few dollars from him if you split the bill.

Definitely make some ground rules and consequences

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention?

Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

Over a week ago my long distance (ex)bf (US) and I (NL) broke up. I was ready to move to US for him and get married; he’d never want to move to NL. I couldn’t accept that: I needed to know it could still be an option to live in NL in the future, if that became necessary due to my family situation. He ruled it out because pay is lower here, though we’d still be super comfortable financially (top 1-5%). Is money the key driver in such decisions, even in consulting? Did I do right by breaking up?
