How do I deal with my roommate ?

Home More advice Love & Relationships

I moved in with my roommate about six months ago. I'd known "Dave" for about two years before moving in with him. But over the past six months, I've encountered a lot of problems with him that are putting our friendship (and my sanity) in peril.

For starters, he is extremely messy. When I moved in, it became clear that Dave is too lazy for his own good. The apartment is small, and just about every square inch of the floor is covered in empty boxes, wrappers, his personal belongings and occasionally rotting food that he forgets about. He gets overwhelmed way too easy and never cleans, and whenever we do manage to clean up, within a week, it's back to being a wreck. I'm concerned because he shares custody of his kids and they sometimes visit on weekends, and I feel he could lose his kids due to the potential health hazards he created by keeping the place so poorly maintained. He also hasn't cleaned his dishes in months, and the kitchen sink smells putrid.

In addition, he has some very bad mood problems. He gets overwhelmed and agitated very easily (he kicked me out of the apartment twice already for a few days because he overreacted to things I said), and spends much of time outside of work either sleeping (he sometimes sleeps 12-14 hours and is still tired) or drinking. At work, he is just as lazy as he is at home (his father owns a local business where he works, so he gets away with doing very little) and he only works about 20 hours a week, yet he still gets overstressed about work. He has no social life whatsoever, and seems to take everything too personally. I'm also apparantly expected to be responsible for every menial task to be done, and I can't argue with him. Worse, he flat-out refuses to take any initiative to improve his station in life. He always talks about improving things, but he gives up before he even really tries.

Dave is in his 30's, and he behaves like a teenager. When I met him at college, he was a cool guy, and he still is a cool guy when he wants to be, but I can't take this much more. Moving out is not an option due to the recent flooding in my area, so I'm stuck.
