ASK BEE: My roommate moved her bummy boyfriend in.

Image-1 (1)

My roommate and I have been living together for about 8 months. She had already owned and lived in the townhouse and claimed she needed help financially, so I decided to move in with her and save money while I complete my final semester in college.

When I first moved in, she and I were both single. We never discussed what would happen in terms of our living arrangement if one of us got into a relationship but I never expected her to move some guy in 5 months after I moved in! Talk about desperate.

Since her new “boyfriend” moved in, things have been a little strange to say the least. I am not comfortable sharing a living space with a couple and sometimes she makes me feel out of place by being there. He doesn’t work and in the 3 months he has been there, he eats food that I purchased and sleeps all day long while telling her he is looking for a job. I stay in my room and out of their space because I don’t want any weird interactions.

I know it is her house and she can move in whom she pleases, but I just wished I had known that she would be shacking up with her boyfriend, or I would have never moved in with her. I have lots of other roommate options and I would prefer to live with someone who is considerate of my space.

Should I cut my losses and move now before things get extremely strange?

Loneliness a Driving Force in Sadism and Serial Murder?

Killers Without Conscience

Adolf Hitler once commented to his housekeeper “I am loneliest man in the world.” Richard Kuklinski, aka the Iceman, an assassin for the Italian Mafia, declared, “I am probably the loneliest person in the world.” Likewise, serial killers tell of lonely childhood and teen years, without friends and little family support.

Some are physically abused, others are neglected by their caregivers. Loneliness and rejection by peers is a major trait of all serial killers. Their early years deprive them of social skills that lead to forming friendships and healthy relationships. Many are rejected by their playmates or siblings, who already as children, detect something menacing or repelling in them. Isolated and lonely, these children develop and dwell on fantasies of power and revenge. Could this be a major factor behind sadism and the lust for murder?

Pope Francis Urges Inmates To Become Prophets During Mexican Prison Visit

Via Daily Mail– Pope Francis has told prisoners in a notorious Mexican prison to become ‘prophets’ and to use their experiences through ‘hell’ to help the country break its cycle of violence.

Francis made his plea at the state penitentiary of Ciudad Juarez, a city once known as the world’s murder capital, days after a riot killed 49 inmates at another Mexican prison.

The pope often visits prisons during his trips abroad and he chose the 3,000-capacity state prison of Ciudad Juarez for the last day of this five-day visit to Mexico.

He visited its newly-painted chapel and addressed hundreds assembled in the prison yard, telling them they should use their experiences to help ‘put end to this cycle of violence and exclusion.’

‘The one who has suffered the greatest pain, and we could say “has experienced hell,” can become a prophet in society.’

The pope argued that a country’s security problem ‘is not resolved only by incarcerating,’ arguing that the structural and cultural causes of crime must be addressed.
