Or maybe your partner doesn’t care about them either, but it’s a workable situation for them,” Rubin told Elite Daily. “It is best to be polite and cordial. If you sleep often, make sure to tidy up your clutter and tidy up the spaces that you all use.”
Pricilla Martinez, a life coach, also advised people to “rotate their whereabouts” to “avoid too many consecutive nights in one place” and invite their partner’s roommate to hang out in the common areas so they “don’t feel so im feel exile”. from their habitat.”
