Copycat housemates...how do I cope?
My boyfriend and I moved into an apartment 7 months ago (and its all hunky dory) with his brother. About 2 month ago his girlfriend moves in with us. (I'm pretty friendly with his girlfriend) But they are in a strenuous relationship with very little in common. Since she arrived she has been mimicking me and our relationship. She trys to compete with my daily routine (my workouts, cooking, baking, general hobbies) And now she's doing the same with my relationship. She's trying to use our little "quirks" to JumpStart her relationship and yeah sure it works sometimes but I feel like everything is bluring together and I'm losing my self in it. I try not to show it's bothering me but I don't know how to process and cope with it.
Hi there,
Sounds completely frustrating! That would annoy the hell out of me. Though they do say copying is the highest form of flattery (or something like that)
I would just try and get out the house more, she can't copy what she don't see! But if it all gets too much, honesty is the best policy. You may fall out, but she has to know herself what she is doing.
i can tell you are very strong and you will get over it, for sure !!
