I'm in college and have lived with the same people for the past two years. We were roomates first, and became best friends. Back in October, I signed a lease for the 26-27 school year with them in a house with 2 additional friends.
However, as one may expect moving through college, our dynamic has changed, and I've had a few problems with them. For one, we have different ideas of a clean space, and I often take on most of the household chores. Also, a few of us also have conflicting personalities and often butt heads, which creates tension. I felt unsupported when I was struggling with my mental health (got upset with me for isolating instead of checking in). Lastly, I'd really like to be able to bring my dog with me next semester to help with mental health problems, but a few of them are adamantly against it (which I understand in a shared living situation).
I feel like any decision I make could burn bridges. If I bring my dog against their will, it will cause strife. If I leave the lease and have someone takeover it, they may never forgive me. If I stay, I’m worried I’ll feel unhappy in my living situation for the rest of college. I care about these people and don’t want to create drama, but I also don’t want to stay in a situation that doesn’t feel right just to avoid upsetting them. What should I do?
