I have two new roommates: One has a harsh body odor and his bedroom smells just as bad and the the second guy is very controlling; moving furniture around and replacing my items with his. I spoke with him twice already, but he continues to keep up the same behavior. How should I handle these situations without hurting any feelings and starting an argument?

I think at this point after you have talked to this person about these issues, it's time to get a little bit more bold. now, it's all about respect and that goes both ways. I had a room mate in my younger years and my room mate was 15 years older than me and had 200 lbs on me as well and had the worst foot Oder I've ever experienced, Not having foot Oder myself (don't know why and even wore boots every day) I thought it was extremely rude that he would take off his boots and stink up the house when I had a female friend over and after I was embarrassed for the last time, I took his boots one night and tossed those 600.00 Tony Lama's in the pool. After he came at me and I put him on his asss, I just stood over him and said, now...lets make a plan over your stinking asss feet and bhla bhla bhla.. the bottom line was after you talked to your roommates and getting out isn't an option, maybe showing them your real serious about the destruction of your property.You should go back to worring about hurting their feelings after they start worring about your stuff. If none of this works for you, move out and leave a sleeping dog lie. Good luck :)

U don't! U move out. Unless u have some emotional attachment to either (which i don't think is true). The one with the odor, u could have easily handled with diplomacy. But the one always moving things around is really tipping the scale. He is aiming for a confrontation with u so, trying not to hurt his feelings doesn't even come into the picture. He already has some beef for u esp since he is always replacing urs with his & u spoke to him already.
Go ahead. Move out. U'v already 'tried'. No one will blame you. Life is dificult enuff on the outside without u having to face harshness in ur own personal space at home when u supposed to be relaxing.
Before u leave though, u could try having a word or 2 with the one with d odor for his own sake. its the good Samaritan thing to do.

oh this is like, the worst. i havent personally been in this situation, but i've seen it happen. wut my friend did to tell the other person that they had SUCH bad B.O. & like, they never showered or anything, & there was a grey line of frickin gross dirt around the girl's neck...well my friend was like, "im sorry, but you have really bad body odor and it is VERY offensive, please, just take care of yourself more often and shower daily." & the girl DID get really upset, but my gosh. she ended up showering more often (thank goodness). As for the controlling guy, im not really sure. cuz he seems like the type of person u dont wanna make mad in order to keep u safe. lol kinda sounds like u need to move out.

walk up to the smelly one and ask him if he got that new febreez that you left on his bed next to the body wash.
then go to the controlling guy and ask him if he would like to pay your half of the rent since he obviously thinks he is you and owns your stuff. i think they will get the message

a million.) bathe on a daily basis. 2.) positioned on deodorant. If that would not paintings: 3.) stay faraway from spandex and polyester based outfits. i hit upon it holds the scent extra suitable than cotton. and ensure outfits are sparkling. 4.) positioned on fragrance/fragrance/or cologne. 5.) fabrics softener makes outfits scent great. If that still would not paintings, Zinc deficiencies could reason physique oder. I had that project whilst i grew to become into youthful. I used to sweat plenty until i began taking Zinc supplementations. project solved. There are prescription capability deodorant too. it is going to possibly no longer injury. of direction this might require seeing a doctor. If the techniques above do no longer help, it would be terrific she sees a doctor.

I believe you already know the answer. Leave, you don't have to live like that nor with folks who don't apparently care about your feelings.Good luck!
