Why do some people say it’s a bad idea to live with friends, especially best friends?

Everyone situation is different. My dad says that it’s a bad idea but if I want to do it going ahead and he can’t stop because I’m an adult. I guess I’ve been hesitant to like be roommates with her because I don’t want our friendship to be ruined. She’s probably gonna tell me that’s a lame excuse to not be roommates and she really wants me to live with her because I’m the only one that she trusts.

I lived once with two friends and it was fine. Another time I lived with a girl I worked with and that was ok also.

@NotJamieM OK then. Why are people saying it living with your best friend or friends is a bad idea then? Maybe because of their experience.

@ElizabethBabe1994 I'm not sure. Maybe if you flight a lot that could get worse living together? My friends and I were all laid back, so was the co-worker girl (though she took forever in the shower, lol). It sure makes getting a place cheaper than going it alone.

@NotJamieM yeah. Just don’t know what to do because people keep telling me to have a open mind and just get out of there and move to a new place

@ElizabethBabe1994 does she already have a place? Maybe tell her you'll try it for a month and just not move in a lot of stuff. I was always glad to have roommates because of all the extra money it gave me, but I never had a bad one thankfully.

@NotJamieM no she doesn’t have a place yet she said as soon as she finds a job she’ll find a place and hopefully she’ll have one by next year.
