    Seriously I don’t understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS

      1. Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
      2. Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn’t matter
      3. Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them

      … 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!

      Edit: just realised ‘best friend AND roomate’ is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there’s the low-down in my opinion.

        As silly as bonding over race, especially when we disagree on basic morality, but that’s sadly what happens. 😔
