I have confronted him many times...it gets me nowhere. He wont listen, and he gets over emotional and starts yelling at me. I'm sick of it, and I just wanted to try something different.

i agree...but I can't do it right now. If he wants to leave, he can go. But he is trying to make me leave. As if he has more power to stay.

Just what i was going to say, if someone left me a letter like that (right or wrong) i would go out of my way to be more of a PITA.
Be a man and confront him in person.

writing letters are for people that have trouble with confrontation. You're just going to end up looking like a pushover.

Letter was way to long,quit reading it half way through.

Sit down and talk or it's time to look for a new place.

look..I am trying to find a new place. But I am broke right now. And I am busy as heck with work.

He doesn't want to move, and therefore isn't looking at all.

in the mean time, while we wait to seprate, there needs to be some issues that are dealt with. That is the reason for this letter.

Ben, you sound like a nice guy. And I sympathize with your situation; living with inconsiderate roommates is tough. However, I get the impression that you're a total vagina. I'm going to offer you three pieces of advice. One, stop being such a muppet and give your moron roomate a good f*cking yelling once in a while. Two, stop sharing groceries. You shouldn't in the first place. And lastly, if you really can't amend your relationship with this guy, just move out.

If I try to sit down and talk to him rationally he will just blow up. Then I'll yell back, and we wont discuss ANYTHING !

His way of communicating will not leave me the time or ability to relay what I have written.

Plus..like I said b4, I can't move out right now.

tried that already...in one ear and out the other. I was hoping the letter would have better results.
OK, here's an observation from the other side...... some people just don't get it. Some people are just selfish, boorish, pigs to live with (no offence to real pigs). These people seldom take hints or are prone to suggestion. I suggest that someone needs to move, not picking that one.
<Likes my current roommate...... a cat.

good well written level headed letter. If your roommate has half a brain he will be able to understand he is in the wrong. gj

Next time he opens his mouth, get REALLY LOUD and tell him to STFU, because you have a few things to say. Then in a calm-like-hannibal-lecter voice, explain to him why he will continue to STFU around you unless he wants to be beaten about the head with a heavy, blunt object.

If he blows up, just do something like this;

SHUT THE FVCK UP BEFORE I REMOVE YOUR LIVER WITH A BUTTERKNIFE AND STUFF IT IN YOUR EYESOCKET YOU STUPID, SLOBBY, INCONSIDERATE WORTHLESS PIECE OF SH!T@!#$!@$ AND IF YOU EVER RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME AGAIN YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT, I KNOW WHERE YOU PUT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH, I KNOW WHICH SHAMPOO BOTTLE IS YOURS, AND I WILL ABUSE THIS KNOWLEDGE AS OFTEN AS I POSSIBLY CAN.

buy a package of post it notes.
put your name on each one.
stick a post it note on everything you own.
post a huge piece of paper on your fridge that says:
USE MY STUFF AND DIE.

And if he is such a prick, he will not read past the first 5 lines of your letter. He sounds like he is a prick, too. He already has himself convinced that he is 100% right and you are 100% wrong, so your letter will not change his mind. Stick up for yourself, dont let him push you around. If he starts screaming, just look at him like he is an lunatic until he is finished. Then ask him if he is finished being immature and ready to talk.

And avoid him as much as possible. Get a lock for your door and keep everything in it that you dont want him to have access to. Go about your business until you are ready to move out. I understand that your principals make you feel that you have as much right to be there as he does, but come on.. why would you want to be there?

Stand firm, and bide your time.
:)
P.S. this kinda stuff is EXACTLY why I have opted to shell out for my daughter to have her own place in college. sheesh!

actually it sounds like you both have legitimate gripes, everyone feels their position is right. he makes noise, but so do you. he uses your stuff, but you use/eat his. 10 bars of soap? come on that's like 3 bucks. why even bring that up.

sounds like you just can't both share. i would imagine it's much less one sided than you feel it is. except for maybe his yelling, which i can't vouch for.

anyway, just realize that obviously you are doing things to bug him as well. and like you already figured out, it's best to find a new place asap.

i think the letter is really nice -- but think you should say it and not write it to him. if he is like any of my friends, he would show it to his g/f and his buddies and they'd have a nice laugh at you behind your back while they're downing a cold one.

its really good stuff though, just say it.
