I'm a sophomore. When the subject arose last year, I told my then-roommate that she was away too much after a death in her immediate family, and that I didn't enjoy the last few months of living with her because I was basically alone.
This year I'm rooming with three other girls in a suite, and it's been a lot of fun. One of the suitemates is studying abroad this semester, and I'm fairly confident she will be rooming with different girls next year. Today at lunch, I was asked, along with my other suitemate (not my roommate), to room with two of our other friends in one of the on-campus apartments next year. I want to do this, but I don't know how to tell my current roommate, without hurting her feelings, that there is no room for her in the new apartment.

I'd tell her that this year was really fun but you've been asked to do something different next year and you've decided to do it. It sounds to me like your decision wasn't about your roommate. I know that with two of you moving into the new place together she may feel left out and be tempted to take it personally, so try to convey that you didn't do this to get away from her. Tell her soon, so that she's got time to talk to her other friends before everybody has made other plans, and she'll be less likely to be upset. Good luck with the new place!

"there are extra significant issues than averting awkwardness." In youre case, its surprisingly needed. You wasted 2 years that have been Yours, and its in basic terms your fault you probably did yet whats carried out is finished, you are able to exchange the present and as a result, the destiny so p.c.. your **** up, use the backbone you have deep interior you (it is going to likely be ok, even empowering), and tell her. in my opinion, id prethink to disguise the knife suited before i tell her in case she tries to stab you lol look, shes not your concern, and not your chum. pals dont deliver one yet another down. if she desires help, she sould refer to somebody paid to accomplish that like a psychiatrist. dont look lower back on your wouldves and shouldves, as theyre not an decision. yet dont only permit this save happening. its not honest, its not suited, and don't permit it is your fault.

I had already talked to the guy I was going to room with, so I just said "Kevin already asked me."
