The roommate dynamic can be a tough one to manage. Sharing a space requires a willingness to work together, make compromises, and pitch in even when you don't feel like it. Or else you can end up resenting each other and taking it out in petty ways.

This is especially true when you invite other people to stay in your shared space. Sure, having a friend crash on your couch for a couple of nights is usually no big deal, as long as they're respectful and out in a couple of days. Even then, the inconvenience to your space is real. When you live in a small apartment, it can really mess up your flow of living. But when it's more than one person for more than a couple of days, you can quickly reach a breaking point. That's exactly what happened to one pair of roommates who found themselves in a heated argument over their houseguests. Read on for the riveting text chain.
