Not sure if this deserves it's own thread or not...
My coworker has a friend moving into town in June, and he was wondering if I wanted to move in with them. Minimum requirements being a 3 bedroom/3 bath about midway between our job and his friend's job.
I haven't lived with any roommates since 2013, nevermind a coworker and a person I never met before. I enjoy living by myself and I am able to do that without any financial worry.
I think living with people and becoming more social would be a good thing. But I also don't want the hassle of it. It would be cheaper and I would be living in a nicer place.
My coworker has a long distance relationship with his girlfriend, so he's not around the majority of the weekends, which would leave me and Jordan hanging out most of the time.
It would be slightly farther away from work that I am now, but my coworker and I would carpool some days.

Is this worth it? Are there any downsides to this? Anyone have some cool positive stories?

While saving money is a good thing, as well as the potential social aspect, living with a co-worker might be tricky. You don't necessarily want to bring work issues home with you.

I agree with SD...if I were friends with someone beforehand, and we happened to get a job at the same place and wanted to room together, fine. Co-workers that you just know from work, I'd be leery.
Personally I also really really really love and need solitude. I think it's great that you can afford to live on your own. Most people don't have that luxury.
Good luck in your decision!

I'm on board with this as well. Also I'm weary of moving in with someone you don't know. That can backfire.
I hated living with other people so I'm a little biased :-)

Thanks for the thoughts guys!

While we work in the same office, we don't work together. He is on different projects than I am, but we usually take breaks and eat lunch together. I am actually changing buildings, so I will be seeing him alot less starting next week, which I think would be a good thing if we do live together.

The solitude thing is great and shitty at the same time. I don't really know what I truely prefer. I loved my roommates in college, and coming home to people/living with them. But I also like being able to not have to care about anyone else's opinion while I'm home whether it's what I am doing or whatever. Will I care that I could be judged for watching netflix all day on a saturday when I'm sick? Will i care when I get home from work and just want to sleep but they have people over? idk

The living with someone I don't know is the major sticking point...

I understand where you're coming from completely. I don't think I could do it to be honest. I value my personal space to much and the freedom to do as I like. I think there are easier ways to socialise and meet people! I am an antisocial hermit though, so perhaps best not listen to me

This is a tough one. I really don't think living with someone from work is a great idea at all. I have a good friend I used to spend a few days here and there with sometimes and basically the work conversation drove me nuts in the end.

As you say it's lovely to do what you want without anyone to worry about but I am a person who's always lived alone except with with my parents years ago. I'm lucky because I have family about 15 mins away now but I do like having nobody to answer to. It is a very solitary life and kinda weird in a way though.

I'm worried about my daughter. She's not eating very much and exercises all the time. I know what's going on, I just don't know how to help. The fact that she's getting positive attention for how her body has changed due to the weight loss makes it almost impossible.

Just tell her that no matter what she weighs, no matter what she looks like, she is beautiful and that you love her...

all we need is love....<3

God bless you all.....

Such a difficult situation, how old is she? It can be incredibly hard to get through to people with an eating disorder, their image of themselves is so distorted, it's hard to imagine it unless you've experienced it

She's 14. We have always been very close. I know it's normal and healthy for her to make new connections and have new interests but I feel our relationship shifting. I just want her to see what we all do, she's so very kind, and has such a gentle soul. The message that you must be thin to be pretty is such a burden for not only young girls but woman as well.
