    Hello everyone
    I saw a post like this a few weeks back but I thought I'd get a fresh opinion or two on my problem if that's ok?
    For years my sis has lived away from home. She's had a rough ride sharing with different people in dodgy houses and is fed up of the sharing scene.
    I am in the process of moving to the same town and have some stuff moved in to a house. The house has no heating at the minute, no TV connection, the cooker doesn't work right and there is a foreign girl I don't know moved in as well. The house is in a perfect location for me and isn't overly dear (yet).
    The problem comes from my sister wanting us to get a place, so we know each other and don't have any strangers with us. I'm not enthusiastic about this. We are so opposite of each other. The only pro would be that we know each other. I can think of a list of reasons against it. I'm easy going, she's tense and aggro etc. She's very domineering and goes in to bad temper easily.
    Would any one here move in for the sake of not living with strangers? Thanks for reading

    I wouldn't move in with my sister if I felt we were incompatible, unless I was more incompatible with strangers - pick the lesser of two evils or else get a place on your own.

    Your next issue will be to break the news to her in an unhutful way.
    • move in with difficult sister - known difficult personality issues.
    • move in with stranger - unknown personality issues - maybe no personality issues if you're lucky, or complete psycho scumbag if you're unlucky.
    • move into your own place - no personality issues but cost & loneliness issues, maybe.
    good luck.

    No, I lived with my sister once and we bickered constantly, even though we got on well before (and after). Been grand with everyone else.

    People who are 'easy going' like yourself generally do well living in shared flats - you'll get along with most people barring a complete psycho (who are actually pretty rare).

    People who are 'tense, aggo, and domineering' do not do well in shared accommodation. In fact, they often end up being the crazy flatmate people complain about.

    You move in with her, she's going to demand everything her way and bully you most the time. It will be miserable. Stay in your current flat - your sister is best to get a flat on her own and not live with anyone at all.
