I ended up signing a 1 year lease with a girl who I sort of met before. After we moved in, she started bringing tons of people over all of the time like we were in college. I really enjoy my privacy and it's a small place so I had a talk with her and we mutually agreed to no guests on weekdays.
In our time living together, she has disrespected me a couple of times which I do not take lightly and she also started bringing people over again on weekdays without talking to me about it first. Her and her guests don't go into her room which I would appreciate, but rather stay in the kitchen cooking and talking in the living room for hours.
Given that she disrespected me in the past and sort of went against our informal agreement, I don't even want to greet or see her face around the place. I'm honestly not looking for friends and would actually prefer if we didn't even greet or talk to each other. I just did not want to make the place have a hostile environment but I'm starting to not care about that at all. Anyone ever had a roommate situation where you just ignored each other living in a small place and is this a bad idea? I think I'd be more comfortable not even acknowledging each other and pretend we don't know each other.
Perhaps next time you should discuss the "visitors situation" before you agree to become roommates with a nearly stranger. If you had asked this roommate if she enjoyed having friends over, maybe you would have moved on to the next possible roommate and saved yourself a lot of aggravation.

But seriously Oh HECK NO would I stand for this roommate to be disrespecting me in my own home, that's a no! honestly while absolutely I would plan to start ignoring and living separately as possible, I would have a confrontation about the disrespect first!!
Yes I have a similiar experience. A week after signing a year long lease, I very quickly found out that my roommate is a racist and it all went down from there.. Luckily, there were three of us and the other roommate and I got along just fine. Soon enough my roommate and I stop talking or even acknowleding each other existence (and it's a very small space too. No living room, the only common areas are kitchen and bathroom)
If you hate to talk to your roommate and solve the problem that much then you just have to accept the fact that they probably won't keep that verbal promise you guys make. Let them do whatever they want and just move out after your lease ends
