Y.E.S. Sophomore year of college I lived with my best friend in college. We were not friends any more by the end of the year. She was SUCH a slob. And her dating habits left me really disgusted. And that's all I can share on a public thread.

Travel/living with - I was in a Bible study group and we all got along great until we went on vacation together. During our vacation I realized that I couldn't continue with the group because of one member. Upon return said member (who hosted the study basically told me I had to leave). After leaving my friendship with the rest of the group didn't make it either.

Yep. We continued to live together for an entire year and NEVER spike. Holy awkward.

I have seen living toegther (especially when splitting rent) go horribly, horribly wrong and ruin a lot of friendships.

Yes, all three.

Travel ruined a beautiful friendship with a male buddy. We went to LA for Spring Break and just saw too much of either. I remember at one point we separated on Venice Beach and came both us came back with henna tattoos. We still liked the same stuff, but needed a break. lol (We are still friends, but justbnitnas close)

Sophomore year I lived with two good buddies. OMG the stuff you learn about people when you live with them. One pal would let her gym clothes pile up and the other wouldn't dispose of takeout. These were some funky girls. (We were still friends, but I decided not to room with them the following year)

The good college to work friend I lost was previously chronicled on HB. We don't speak at all.

i can't travel too long with one friend...she treats me like a child(telling me what i should and shouldn't eat, where to go, etc). the last time after we went on a vacation together, i didn't talk to her for a couple weeks. too much time together sometimes isn't good haha

my stepbrothers wife, i got her a job where i had worked and she ended up being fired due to her stealing.....i was not pleased, to say the least. i didn't really talk to her much after that.

Yes definitely. I've traveled with my best friend many times, but when we added the guys into the mix it just didn't work. Her and her DH ended up getting cranky together and ignoring us, and making decisions for us. After a 3 day trip, I told my DH that its never going to happen again. I was skeptical to go on a mini trip with her afterwards, but it ended up being a good one, so its definitely her DH that messes it up!

@autumnlove: um yeah. lol and it was really awkward afterwards when all my co-workers asked me if i knew she was stealing and/or helping her! i was so PO'd!

I lived with a friend for five years and traveled a lot with her (all over the world, actually). We got a long great for 4.5 years and then our relationship imploded tremendously. It still stings to think about, but I've moved on.

Travel has ruined two friendships and living together ruined a third!
-living together: her bf was over 24/7, eating my food and never replacing it, using my computer and printer without asking, using up all my printer ink, and borrowing (without asking) a pair of new suede tall boots and wearing them through mud and rain. I hadn't even worn them yet myself. Stole my silverware when she moved out!

Travel: went to Canada with a girl friend and couchsurfed at guy's apartment. She got very drunk when he invited his friends over to drink,, hit on him hard core, started having very loud sexual relations (ahem) with him while I was left in the living room of this 1 bedroom apartment with a random guy friend of our host, who assumed this was a signal to try to sexually harass me even though I was very clear I was not interested. I had to yell at this guy friend and throw a couch pillow at him and ask him to leave his friends apartment. THANKS, FRIEND.

Travel two: I was backpacking around Europe one summer alone but had a guy friend from college who had vacation time and said he wanted to meet up with me wherever I was at the time (I was in Greece). He was single (I was in a serious relationship at home ) and ended up being THAT guy who hits on every girl in proximity in really obnoxious ways. So I'd make friends with other travelers and he would drive them off by getting sloppy drunk and trying to make out with girls who did not appreciate it. We had a huge fight when one night I asked him to walk me back to our hostel at 4 am, but he was trying to pick up a girl, so he asked some rando South American guy at the bar to walk me home.....who tried to hit on me on a very dark road back to the hostel (terrifying). I could not forgive the guy friend at that point, and I ended up flying to Italy alone to get away from him.

I have traveled with someone that it was a really rough trip, but we recovered. One of my roommates stopped speaking to me for no particular reason after we had lived together for 4 years. We still had about 6 months on our lease at the time and we rode it out. I never knew why she stopped talking to me then and we never talked again.

I forgot to add that I worked for my SIL and it sucked. DH and I were engaged at the time, and she took soo much advantage of me working for her. She'd ask me to run and get her a freaking soda. Glad that only lasted a few months! We're all good now!

I studied abroad & traveled a lot with a girl in college. Everything was great. We were roommates the following year when we returned to the States and it was SO different. Did not see it coming.

Yup. I was good friends with my roommate my freshman year of college, so we figured it was a no-brainer to room together the following year in a suite-style dorm (w/ kitchen). I didn't realize what a diva personality she had about cleaning when we lived together the first year....probably because we didn't have a kitchen and she didn't have to clean up after herself. I was ALWAYS washing her dishes so I went on strike, and when we ran out of clean things she had the gall to ask why I hadn't washed them. I also caught her using my toothpaste (eww), using my computer/printer, and eating my food. I stopped talking to her about halfway through the year and we haven't spoken since.
