My fabulous ship
Hey guys - I'm in the middle of searching for a new home to rent I only have a few pieces of criteria I use to search:

around 600-750pcm
zone 2 of london
3-4 tenants
big room
no live in landlord

now, my semi ex (long story) spent pretty much 3 hours last night arguing with me that I am being stupid, a jerk and a racist for excluding live in landlords. More than 3 times I explained it's not because I consider them all the same of any sort, or because of bad experiences my friends have had. It's just for assurance that if they turn out to be crazy:

I don't have to argue with the landlord of the house,
no arguments of who I have round,
what time I go home after a night out,
what we do / don't agree with what goes in the living room,
etc etc.

Now my semi ex is a live in landlord and she is blatantly taking it to heart because even when I have weighed the pros and cons of both with her, she still says I should give it a chance even though I said it's my personal preference. She said

"it's not personal preference, that's like saying being racist is personal preference... which is pretty much what you are saying"

now... this is a whole new bag of snakes that I don't really want to go into but would you agree with her on this? it sounds like a pretty stupid comparison - I am not saying live in landlords is bad - I am saying it is not my personal preference for the reasons above...

am I in the wrong here?...

annoyingly I asked is it really worth calling me a jerk, stupid and a racist? couldn't she just drop the subject after me telling her to stop 3 times... she wouldn't answer and just carried on. so apparently so.
 
think I might start my own "anti live in landlord cult" I'm sure I'll get a huge following with their views of how the go into your room and pee in your bed while you are sleeping while chanting Nigerian gay rights views..... because we all know this is what happens with live in landlords :p /sarcasm

tell me about it - I was bamboozled... I didn't know where to begin to start saying what was wrong. We even got onto the living room aka "communal area"

she said if someone is in the living room having a "quiet read", nobody else can come in there and turn the tv on because it's forcing them out of the room.... I said "wtf... so if one person is there first in a 5 bedroom house.... the 4 other people that actually want to watch tv don't get a say because someone is enjoying chapter 5 of harry potter!? **** that!"

she retorted that she was in shock that I would be such a jerk... I replied with "no wonder your housemate stays in her room"

it's our first argument to be fair so I'm not going to judge her on this - but it did annoy me when I know she's just going to go and complain to her friends about it. I think that's the thing that bothers me about it - hopefully her friends will can see it from an unbiased view

on a side note - cheers for the comments, I needed to hear all this - I was laughing last night out of desperation and hope that she would understand but now it's more "yeah she's being stupid - move along" :)

thanks
