Hello,
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
I'm having trouble with my landlord, we share the same space except bedrooms! I think the line between our personal space is blurred.
He suffers from anxiety. This is obviously making him suffer and I try to be as compassionate as I can.However he has no-one to talk to apart from me! This means that I have to hear about every detail of his life and health problems. To be honest this is starting to annoy me alot. he is also really noisy as we are on different schedules, I have to get up early and go to bed at around 11pm. However he doesn't go to bed until the early hours and gets up in the afternoon. He makes weird disgusting noises related to his illness, which bugs me.
He is also obssessed with my rent and is always talking about it. He says he has no money, which makes me feel guilty! I pay my rent on time every months, always have!
How do I broach these topics tactfully, without making his anxiety worse? I am seriously thinking of moving out, because its making me feel all angry and I suffer from dysthymia, so its not good.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Jannjj
