Scenario

When friend groups attempt shared living arrangements

Four of us friends decided to buy a house together as a way to afford homeownership, but six months in we're discovering that our different relationships to money, cleanliness, and personal space are creating constant low-level tension that nobody wants to address directly. We're all conflict-avoidant people who made a decision that requires constant negotiation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The practical intimacy of shared space exposes incompatibilities that friendship's usual boundaries had previously accommodated.
