It's okay, really. I understand since I did tl;dr there a lot and probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. I'm down for roommates in general, and if I wasn't I would state that straight out, since like I said honesty is the most important thing. If we just go along despite not wanting it and not being willing to try, anything we do is doomed to go badly.

We all need to be upfront about what options we actually want and would be willing to work with, not just what we would begrudgingly follow because we think we have to or we feel like the game with sink or something if we don't.
