But if there's one thing I've learned through the years, you shouldn't have expectations of people either. Control what you can control. Talk to her about it.

Just being upfront and honest so that both of you can make plans for whatever comes next. <br /><br />Sometimes people forget that their actions have an impact on those around them. You just need to remind her that if she is buying a home, you will need to move forward accordingly. And that doesn't happen over night.<br /><br />Good Luck.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-10217453197124927452010-01-18T12:20:57.581-05:002010-01-18T12:20:57.581-05:00Ugh, sorry to hear about the roommate/apartment st...Ugh, sorry to hear about the roommate/apartment stresses. When is the renewal? She really should be giving you as much notice as possible if she plans to leave.

I had no idea they weren't planning on renewing our lease and she never came out and told me. I saw some listings on the counter and asked her. I think your roommate should come out and give you a heads up that way you can start planning on your next move.

View it as a conversation so that you can both plan the best way forward collectively and perhaps individually. She may have unrealistic expectations on what you are willing to do (like what if her house quest gets delayed 3-4 months). In order to have this conversation you need to know what YOU hope to get out of it. It may sound a little selfish but that's OK.<br /><br />It is great that running can help you de-stress on this. Good luck on finding the right race.RockStarTrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819672184842226835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-64739567676688103802010-01-18T11:19:23.521-05:002010-01-18T11:19:23.521-05:00You should definitely talk with your roommate abou...You should definitely talk with your roommate about the situation. She may just not realize that this is bothering you so much and that you're worrying about it. Maybe she thinks June is a good time away still. Also, she may need someone to rent a room from her in order to pay her mortgage. Depending on how the conversation goes, you might want to ask if this is a possibility.<br />Good luck & keep running!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-39988036629653194552010-01-18T11:18:08.666-05:002010-01-18T11:18:08.666-05:00If it helps any, all of my friends who were "...If it helps any, all of my friends who were "looking for a house" last year have renewed their leases!Coreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281939612664251723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-38920526943973487172010-01-18T11:15:05.612-05:002010-01-18T11:15:05.612-05:00Hope that you and your roommate get everything fig...Hope that you and your roommate get everything figured out.
