So I Have a Roomate Rift.

...Wow. All I can say is wow.
Okay so that's not ALL I can say.
First of all, what are you doing rooming with someone who takes medicine for emotional stability? Even if he's the victim...
Secondly, if they were good friends, a little strangling never killed a GOOD friendship. However if they weren't all that great of friends, neither of them will forgive each other, and eventually one will shoot the other in the head.

In all seriousness... it's not up to you to mend their friendship. You can be the message boy and deliver only positive good messages, which can help, but it's really up to them. Just try to relax, and I'd suggest getting another roommate ASAP so rent doesn't stress you either.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ah. I was mostly kidding anyway.

I wasn't talking about an increase in rent, just that everyone would have to make up for the absence of that person not paying their portion of the rent. However if you pay rent per-room (which would be a GREAT set up, I think, and have yet to find one around here) then completely disregard everything I just said and forget I ever said it, mmkay?

It's difficult not to stress about, uh... stressful stuff. Uhm. But I think if you focus on helping rather than worrying about how to help (subtle difference) it could... well... help.
I have a talent for stating the obvious.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

:eyebrow: Um. Did I say he doesn't deserve a roommate? I'm just wondering what would make him want to room with someone who is unstable. I would similarly ask someone what they're doing with an unstable girlfriend, if they had one. It's not that they shouldn't treat them like any other human being. I was asking a question out of curiosity. And joking, to boot (note how I followed it all up with "In all seriousness..." and "I was mostly kidding anyway.") Chill.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
