That sounds terrible! Glad they're gone. When I met my wife, she had shitty roommates and one would pick on me because she was apparently mad that I was "taking away" her friend that she used as an emotional crutch or something.
I wouldn't say I felt bullied though. We kept being friends with her after we all moved out of that situation. She eventually got a maga boyfriend and that's when we cut her off.
Anyway, it sounds like you're already on the right track with choosing self love over anger though. I spent a lot of time being angry when I was younger and it gets you nowhere.
Here's my advice, and I know this is easier said than done a lot of the times. I also don't know your life so I don't know if this is even good advice: I would find a way to make it work financially with just you and your boyfriend and get a place alone together. My wife and I moved in together after a few months and we told ourselves that we would do whatever it takes to not have roommates. I would love off rice and beans. We agreed we would cut out entertainment and treats if that's what it took. We bought a cheap camper and lived in that instead of having roommates.
I feel like it made us stronger as a couple and we grew together as people who cohabitate.
Yes, it was hard and there were plenty of times where I hated it. It ended up paying off in the long run because we were able to save up enough money to get our shit together and get a house. That's kind of a different story. We weren't able to save up 20% for a down payment or anything. We took a home buying class that taught us about a certain kind of loan that helped us get here.
Anyway, hope you can decompress. If you can't go this route, just know that not everyone is that shitty of a roommate. On the flip side, ive had a lot of friends who were good friends to me but we're terrible roommates. It's a total crap shoot unless you really know the person.
Thank you. I appreciate the validation.
