So in the next week I am moving in with my best friend who has rented a house. He and his girlfriend have a room, then we have another roommate who has his own room, and then I will have my own as well.
The problem is that I recently got a new TV from my parents for doing well this last two semesters in school. It was a gift. I had told my friend a long time ago when my parents were thinking of giving it to me that we could put it in the living room. Lately since my parents have given it to me, I have had it in my own room.
When I move up I'd really like to put it in my room. My roommate is going to be upset with me, since I already told him earlier that I would.
Today we had texted and talked about it, and he was getting mad that I didn't want to. I finally agreed that I would put it in the living room for everyone to share until I have to argue over it, or someone mistreats it.
This is not what I want. I have a problem standing up for myself and making the choice that I want to put it in my room. I want to tell him this, but I feel bad after today I had just said I would try it. I don't want to share my stuff anymore after doing it for the last 3 years. He will be mad at me, and I don't want to start another roommate relationship on a bad start especially since it is my best friend. What should I do? How should I say it? Thanks
