We all live on a yellow submarine.

This is hard to properly explain without knowing a lot more details, but, here I go.

I have briefly mentioned my ex, Holly. And how crazy she is. But also that I do still love her, or convinced myself I love her. A few days ago we were hanging out like usual and talking about how much we do love each other but we dont work as a couple. But maybe in the future. We got to my place and kissed and held each other. Thats it.

Now, last night we were hanging out again. Her, my roommate and I went the bar then came home and started watching a movie. I got tired and went to bed. She stays the night on the couch all the time. Especially since she decided to be celibate and stop sleeping with me about 6 weeks ago. She just crashes on the couch rather than be at home. I set my alarm for 4am to help her make sure she got up for work on time. I get up to my roommate and her on the couch. They had made out.

She leaves crying, head down without a word.

Now my roommate had dated holly about 10 years ago. And somehow in his mind this justified it. Along with a string of other utter nonsense. Like he had no idea I still had feelings for her. He is my best friend, I tell him everything. I even told him point blank about a month ago that she is permanently off-limits. But he remembered the conversation differently.

So he, drunk and getting drunker, decides he should move out, sell all his stuff and live on the street. At first I say no. Then I begin to think its the best idea for him to leave. I tell him the reason is I dont trust him anymore. He storms off and tells me to sell his stuff or burn it or whatever. Leaving me with the idea he is planning on hurting himself. So an hour later  I end up calling him and convincing him its all ok and he should come home. He does. Its now 630 am.

Now, after a little sleep. I am thinking this isnt the first time. This is definitely not the first time he has betrayed me. But, like the optimistic fool I am I live and let live.

I want to tell him to leave. Consequences be damned. Live on the street, hurt yourself, give up music and art, whatever. I don't trust him anymore. I don't want to live with him.

I just want a little advice before I discuss it with him.

While I completely understand your point when it comes to him, what about her? Was she drunk as well that she wasn't against making out with him?

Oh, I'm twice as pissed at her as I am at him. But thats simple. I just wont speak to her anymore. They were both drunk. But not wasted.

change all the door locks (when your roomate is not home)
put his clothes on the porch
put his valuable stuff by the door
if he wants his valuable stuff, he'll come find you.

Now he is blaming me for not seeing that he is an alcoholic which is the cause for his behavior.

Now I just don't want to be in my house. Last night about the time he was supposed to be getting home from work I started panicking. Took a shower and went out. Got home and went straight to bed. I can't continue like this.

Thats a terrible situation. Obviously don't talk to her (which was previously stated) but you really need to get rid of him. Thats like having a disease you don't want to talk about with anyone so it just eats away at you. Its happened to me and I don't know about you but I don't do well with tension in my home.
