to follow up martian and this whole 'failure' thing...dude, you're just not getting it. this isn't some sort of quest or japanese soap opera. i'll tell you this much: if a roommate of mine met my sister a few times (over the period of october of 2006 - may 2007), never had a conversation with her, never took her out, never hung out with her when we weren't in a group...and then i found out that he'd bought her a $3000 ring as a "gift" to "send a message" and "keep her from going out with another guy" i would have "failed the shit out of his ass" and told my sister. i would then have "kicked him out my house" while "sleeping with the lights on" and then i would "break all ties with him." the only difference between me and your roommate is that you and i would have already had a nice long talk about this situation.
i stand by the advice that you need to seek counseling, but if you're not going to do that, then you need to really sit back and meditate on this situation. if you're in college, you probably have free counseling available, at least for a set number of sessions. i'd take advantage of that.
if it were MY little sister?
