When friendships face challenges from living together

My roommate and I signed a lease together as friends but living together has brought up all these incompatibilities about cleanliness and noise and having people over that we never had to deal with before. We both want this to work because we care about each other but we're starting to get irritated about small things and I can feel us both being more passive-aggressive than we used to be.

What we've seen
