So I told my house mate that I wasthinking about moving somewhere closer to campus and she was really angry. She said that I should have told her earlier. Her exact words was that I should have told her months ago because we should always share everything that we’re thinking. But I hadn’t even thought about considering moving anywhere months ago! We live really far from campus and it takes at least 20 min to bike there. I always have night classes and I’ve been having really early morning classes too where I have to start biking by 7am to get to campus on time. When I told her that I was thinking about moving, there was still over a month left before we had to renew the lease. I explained my reasons for wanting to live closer to campus and she was still angry. Now she’s been sulky all the time and gets angry over little things and is nowhere near as considerate as she was before I told her.
Was I really in the wrong?

Not in the wrong at all. Ur housemate needs to build a bridge and get over it!
I agree, you’re definitely not in the wrong. Does your housemate depend on you a lot for company? She may be upset because she’s afraid she’ll be really lonely when you’ve moved closer to campus.
She doesn’t really make an effort to make new friends. Most of her friends are ones that she’ met from when I have friends over and she meets them. Some of my other friends are looking for someone to move in with them, and I told her but I don’t think she wants to move in with them. The place we live in right now is a little more expensive than I would like because it’s just the 2 of us splitting the rent and utilities.
She definitely needs to broaden her social circle… Does she have trust issues? Or is she just the more introverted type?
I would definitely tell her about the place being more expensive than you’d like. Do you think your friends would be accepting of her if she moved in with them?
