How to Handle Roommate Conflict Without Drama

Conflict is normal when sharing a home — what matters is how you handle it.

Start by addressing issues early instead of letting resentment build up over weeks.

Use 'I' statements: 'I feel frustrated when dishes pile up' works better than 'You never clean.'

Set up regular roommate meetings to air concerns before they become arguments.
