What if the person you are dating....has roaches in their house and it makes you like so uncomfortable??!! He always asks why I won't stay over! I don't want to wake up with a roach on me! I refuse to eat there...I always suggest we eat out. I won't lie my drink around without watching it like a hawk. I mean what is a nice way to say that the roaches are holding us back from our relationship!!! should i just buy some roach houses and put them around the house...and maybe he will get a hint or what?? i'm a nice person... i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!!

He's not like a really nasty person...I mean he moved into this house from an apartment a few weeks ago. The apartment never had roaches...I stayed there all the time. I just think he needs to get that place exterminated...and I don't want to be rude! It's just sooooo gross. I hate insects...and roaches take the cake.

Did the roaches really take the cake? Was it a birthday cake? Damn roaches, you really need to do something about that! Maybe you could put down your new Yahoo! sticker and catch em with the stickiness. Yeah do that!

Well, I know how gross they are, but, they really arn't that dirty...but, have had the same thing happen when I moved into a house, there was nothing I could do to get rid of them, I tried everything, and finally my brother came in from out of town and he bought some stuff that killed them, and I asked my neighbor about roaches and he said, oh, gosh yes, I had them so bad, I had to go into the light sockets and put poison...then I asked around and knew they were going from house to house...then there was a time I had a friend with her kids and mine as friends, and the first time I went to her house, her house looked clean, and she said she would cook dinner for all of us, and we were in the kitchen, and oh my goodness, all around the top of the walls, cabnets, ect...antenna's, roaches, staring down, dropping down, needless to say, I couldn't eat the food, nor let my kids and made up something we had to leave, and never went back, because, they can leave eggs, and you take them with you, just like you go to the grocery store and get paper bags, they can have eggs in them...there are tree roaches, which are big, then the little water one's that are almost impossible to get rid of, and it's not necessarily it's a dirty place, they just move around, and if someone puts poison out they move on to the next available place...I would suggest to him, to get an exterminator, a bomb isn't going to do the trick, and tell him nicely, I know clean houses have them, and I'm not downing you, but, I have a phobia of roaches, so let's try and get rid of them so i can come over, or else, let's just meet some other place....I only had that one house that had them, and I'm a clean nut you can eat off the floor, they come in through the drains, sinks, tubs ect..lay thousands and thousands of eggs, and if you don't have the right poison they just keep multiplying, be honest with him...he's probably already embarrassed as it is, and if not he needs to be, he needs to do something about it, and if he doesn't if you want to stay with him, just be nice and gentle telling him and like I said, you have a phobia, even if you don't, it's still gross.

First of all if you really loved or liked this guy his house and its contents shouldnt stop you two from being together. But if this is a real big problem why not tell him face to face. Trust me its better telling the truth then to let his mind wonder elsewhere why you wont sleep ova or eat at his place. And if that doesnt work you can always pay a for a exterminator visit for his birthday lol ( then again dont)
I hope i helped

Be honest with him. Tell him you like him, but the roaches really creep you out. Ask him if there is anything he can do. Offer to help find exterminators, or contact the landlord if he rents. Otherwise plan on staying at your place all the time. :)
That would creep me out too!

Ask him if he's gotten the house sprayed recently. Guys tend not to pick up on pests in the house. He probably won't mind if you just ask him that. If he asks why, just tell him that you saw a few bugs around, and that you have extreme phobias about some bugs. He should get it taken care of.

Yes, you should do something for him and yourself. Did you know that roaches are really bad for anyone with asthma? Also haven't you ever seen that movie Brokedown Palace? A tiny roach cralled in one of the girls ears when she was asleep and died there...she got really sick. GET THE RAID FAST!!!!

ohh i got a good idea. tell him you think the two of you should vacaton to gether. get one of your mutual friends to "watch" the house but really have them oversee exterminators coming and tenting it you two would be happy on vaca while the roaches went bye bye the friend is involved to make sure things run smoothly.

For Valentine's hire an exterminator for his house. If that doesn't wake him up, he might just not worry about them.

If he really cares about you, he'll get the house exterminated if you want him to. If he doesn't, then just break up with him
