yes and no
According to my boyfriend and I broke up last summer. It was kind of sticky situation to live together due to painful and grievous at same time. As long as you trust with that person who willing have a good teamwork with you like share to pay the rent and utilities. Roommate can be successful as friendship or love. I did rather to sleep separate room to prevent tempt or hurt each other if we sleep in same room.
We work different shifts hour lately, which is, help us to understand about our relationship between love or friend. State of Massachusetts is awful cost of living. You can’t live in the apartment alone. Rent will eat all up your money! As long as you live under the same roof as a good teamwork and trust each other.
It is very difficult to find a good roommate that you can trust him or her.
