As a former RA - miscommunication is usually half the problem, I have found. It IS hard to make changes halfway through the year, as people have established habits. It's a lot harder to be soft and then toughen up than it is to go the other way around. If you feel that talking with him will accomplish nothing, have both of you meet with your RA, and nobody leaves until you've worked something out. It could be a signed contract between the two of you that you will respect each other's space (with the definition of space agreed upon by both of you), of a provision that if someone has someone coming over, you'll both give the other 2 hours or something of alone time, if there is a certain length of notice given. Just some ideas to help you get moving.
