Ok, I am having a major issue with one of my roommates/sisters and I hope my GC family can help me out a little bit.
Here's the situation:
My roommate has been ignoring me for at least a week now. I have been feeling alienated by her but I thought maybe it was just the stress of initiation and finals, etc. so I decided to leave it alone. This afternoon, she confronted me about something that I find soooooooooo absolutely, positively ridiculous. She was basically mad because over a month ago, I asked her lil sis to possibly live with me next year. Now, I need to throw in some background information so this makes
some sense...My roommate's lil sis is a girl that was in my Rho Chi group, and we are pretty close. About two months ago, my roommate did the exact same thing (ignored me for a week and then blew up at me) because she was basically jealous about the bond between her and her lil sis/me and her lil sis. I thought it was kinda dumb, but I figured that she was just being insecure and she wanted to get to know her lil sis better so I kind of backed off a bit. Well, it was one thing at the beginning of the semester, but she's turning her lil sis into a doll that she wants to fight over!!! She thinks I wasn't being a friend because I didn't consult her before talking to her lil sis about us living together, because she wanted to ask her to live together (even though at the time she said she was thinking of living with her own big sis).
My point is that:
a) My asking her lil sis to possibly live with me happened at least a month ago
b) We're not even going to live together, so why is she throwing a fit about it?
c) I don't feel that I need to ask her permission when I do anything involving/concerning her lil sis
d) Even though she is my roommates lil sis, I knew her first and she is grown up enough to make the decision to hang out with whoever she wants.
Am I crazy here because I think this is soooo perposterous!!! I tried to talk to her but she acted like a kindergartener and basically said "if you don't understand why I'm mad, I'm not going to explain it to you." How the heck am I supposed to deal with her??? Argh!
