Sorry guys i know i have not come on here for a while now (since i don't really play poker anymore) but something just happened to me and i'm not sure who to ask advice to and you guys have generally been great advisors so here it is.
As some of you know i've been living with my GF and her brother for some time, and its going well.
However, recently (a few months ago) we decided to take a roommate because my GF isn't very rich and i'm greedy as fuck. It kinda gives her 200$ more a month.
Thing is, this roomate suffers from an anxiety disorder. It happened a few times that we got some conflicts (me and the roomate) because he can get really pissed off really fast for no reasons, but it never went too far since my GF would make sure it don't go too far.
However, right now, my GF suffers from a pneumonia (don't worry, she will be fine) and shes at the hospital. So today, for a really bullshit reason, the roomate got pissed off at me.
(in short, i came back from work, was talking to my gf on the phone, wanted to take a drink so i took one on the table, and he was like NO ITS MINE, so im like, ok fine ill go take another one, and then hes like HEY TAKE YOURS THATS ALREADY ON THE TABLEEEE but i didn't really understand what he said (i was on the phone) and went away and thats when he yelled hard to get that glass"
SO i was kinda pissed he yelled at me for no reasons and told my gf that hes fucked up. Then he became even more mad and yelled hard at me for calling him fucked up. Then i kinda got frustrated and told my gf i wanted us to kick him off the appartement since hes too fucked up.
At that point, my GF, who was tired, didn't really know to do so we just talked about other things and eventually ended the convo (even if she wanted to do something its kinda hard to do from her hospital bed...).
Then, the roomate told me to "go talk quietly about this at the table". So i was like, ok whatever sure. Then he won't let me say a word and says the story his own way. Then eventually, when i explain it my way, he gets REEALLLLLLY pissed off, yells his hardest, then and i call him fucked up again, and that when he shows his arm towards me (like if he was going to beat me up) and yells hard a bunch of things about not being fucked up.
At that point i was just thinking this guy is absolute nutso and ill just try and calm him down and call the police or something (i probably stood a chance in a fight but i really didn't want to risk it, not worth it, seemed much easier to dodge). So hes like "WILL YOU EVER CALL ME FUCKED UP AGAIN, showing his fist". then i'm like no no no.
Once he calms down, i seriously consider calling the police, but i'm not sure if its the right move and i go ask my gf's brother about it. He's just like "whatever, if you do it, make sure he doesn't find out..." (btw i'm kinda mad he didn't do a thing when this happened -_-).
I decide to do nothing for now...
Later on, he comes back to me, apologize, and almost begs me not to kick him out of the appartement.
So now, what should i do?
Of course it would suck a bit that my GF does not get the 200$ a month anymore, but after today, i'm starting to think this dude is seriously fucked up way more than i ever thought (before today i never thought he was THAT fucked up) and its probably not worth the money to keep him in there.

I understand why you'd post it but yeah.... get that guy out of there for sure. I mean talk it over with your gf and her brother, or bring a good friend of yours over and let him know what's going on. Put your friends in another room or w/e so the guy doesn't feel intimidated, then tell the guy he needs to find a new place to live or w/e, give him the minimum amount of time required by law.
Or maybe since he does seem pretty fkn crazy, someone has a better idea of how to get the cops involved and make it so he has to leave immediately.. might be safer/smarter.
this is just IMO and I don't have first hand experience with this, but it seems like a reasonable course of action.. |

Seriously in the past other things happened but never went that far. Example:
The oven was strange (doing weird sounds) and my gf asked to go ask the guys if any of them noticed anything.
I go ask them "did any of you break the oven or something?"
The brother just goes "no" and thats it. The roomate goes something like "WHAT, YOU THINK IF I BROKE IT I WOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU WHATTTTTT OMGGG ...etc" that time i again got pissed and told my gf that the roomate fucked up (purposely loud enough so he hears it) and he again got pissed off, but that time nothing really happened other than yells (i think he would not go too crazy when the gfs's there).
I think ill talk this out with my gf tommorow but once she finds out he was threatening me i think shell want him booted. |

You should tie his shoelaces up really tight and throw them onto the dance floor and then shake his hand. |

standard answer would be to kick him out but if you really feel like he can change you give him 1 more chance and the next outburst he has or does anything you do not approve of he gets the boot. To be observant though, someone who has this type of mental illness can't change his thoughts without some help. I think he needs a lot of help and you should try helping him find out the root of his sickness. Have you tried reasoning or talking in a civilize way? Give him some bud usually that solves my problems |

floof, let's not make this the looks or game thread. if you come back in 6 months and this guy is still living w/ you and just set your g/f's cat on fire b/c you ignored him and rolled your eyes at breakfast while spelling out "fuck you fuck up" in your alphabet cereal i don't even know.
be a man and handle the situation. |

Yeah, but ur a big black guy Tutz!! You can do shit like that!!
Think it'll be "harder" and more "complicated" the longer you wait, someone said it up there, tell gf and bro, and give him whatever he has left of the month to get out, and get someone else in xD

get him out of the apartment before he hurts you. he obviously has some anger issues and control issues.
good to see you on the forum floofy
also since you are worried about the GF, why not offer to pay a little bit of that 200 since it is your decision to remove him. im sure even offering something like 50 a month would go a long way towards showing her you care and that the move was about safety, comfort, etc |

Give him like 26 more chances and then if he's still nuts give him like 8 more chances and then just move out and break up with your girlfriend so you don't have to confront him. |

I'm pretty sure theres things you ain't telling us floofy, I mean why is that you are the only one who appears concerned about this fucked up guy and neither your gf nor her brother appear to be? and why is he only doing crazy against against you and not doing it vs his other roomates, I think theres more to the story... |

locoo i am the kind of person who will sometimes say the things in a funny/annoying way on purpose. Example:
instead of asking "has any of you broke the oven" i could have asked "any of you noticed anything about the oven?"
Also hes probably acting somewhat nicer to my gf since shes kinda the one who owns the appartement(in the end, shes the one who decides who gets kicked out), and she also has a big personality . My gf's brother is the type of guys who avoids conflicts and he does a lot of house work (and i'm kinda lazy) so yea he gets frustrated at me more than at gf or gf's brother (however my GF has also been complaining that the roomate is sometimes in really bad moods, and i've also seen him be moody with the gf's brother, however its no where near as crazy as what happened yesterday).
But the point is, i've also sometimes been annoying/a bit assholish to the gf's brother, and he obviously NEVER reacted that way. Roomate's reaction was completly innapropriate.
Today, I've talked about this to my gf, and she wasn't too sure what to do, (she kinda wants him out, but considering the guy is studying at university in this city, and has no where else to live in this city, it would mean if we kick him out, hes gonna be fucked for school, and he has loans and stuff, so yea, she feels guilty kicking him out). Anyways shes still sick and doesn't want to deal with this until shes out of hospital.
Today, the roomate is acting "annoyingly" nice with me. I think he knows i want to kick him out and hes trying to act nice... |

I think you're wrong. Back in the days, i lived alone with my gf, and my gf asked me if i was fine with her brother living with us (thats similar as a roomate kinda). At first i was worried, but it kinda did a good result. First, its much less costly for us, and secondly, he does a lot of house work (dish washing and some cooking etc), and hes not annoying in any ways (mostly stays in his room), and no conflicts ever happens (yes sometimes i've been annoying to him but he doesn't make a big deal out of it).
I think a roomate "can" give a good result, but this time, we should pick very carefully. |

brother is different than potential roommate. your g/f probably has 15+ years experience living with him. he's also family. he pretty much sounds like an ideal roommate. however, i would imagine if any party won the lotto tomorrow he'd be out of there as soon as possible.
rando roomate is rolling the dice especially when you consider the pool of potential candidates. you have to ask yourself why this person hasn't found anyone to live with? you are basically trying to get lucky not to get someone terrible.
it comes down to is roommate >>>> working 20 hours a week at $10/hr, working 10 hours a week at $20/hr, eating out/going to bar 1 less time a week, less groceries each week or w/e, etc? the problem is rando roommate is a very volatile variable that is impossible to solve on first impressions. considering how much a roommate can fuck up quality of life and how hard it is to remedy the situation it just doesn't seem like a good proposition. |

This is clearly a situation where to Alpha Males are competing to be Man of the house. Do not let him out alpha you, make sure he knows you have the power and then by end of it, he will be tying your shoe laces before you go out. If that doesn't happen, be the alpha make and kick the noob out into the wild. |

You gave like 10 reasons why you should kick him out but I dont see a single reason why you would NOT throw him out. the $200/m is not an issue. Its going to take at most 2 weeks to find a replacement. So why you do not want to kick him out? |

Wow do you live in the ghetto or something. 600 a month seems extremely good, I pay more than that for my own little apartment. How can his contribution really matter if you and your girlfriend pays like 200 each.
Tell him that he has to leave and give him a month. |
