Dear Jane,<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve been living with the same roommate for the last three years with no issue \u2013 we aren\u2019t best friends, but we are great roommates. We don\u2019t fight, we\u2019re both neat and tidy, and we\u2019ll occasionally split a pizza when we both feel like being lazy.<\/span><\/p>\n Two months ago, she started seeing this new guy and things have been going great for them. How do I know? Because I can hear literally everything they say and do through her very thin bedroom walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And by everything, I do mean their incredibly energetic sex life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Now, I\u2019m not the kind of girl who wants to throw water on anyone\u2019s fire but it\u2019s actually getting unbearable. They\u2019re at it all the time. During the day, in the early hours of the morning\u2026 it just goes on and on.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Jane, my roommate won’t stop having incredibly loud sex with her boyfriend – and she refuses to acknowledge that our neighbors have started complaining\u00a0<\/p>\n And the noises are insane. There\u2019s screaming, banging\u2026 I will spare you the other details but it\u2019s become so loud and incessant that even the neighbors have started complaining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One guy who lives in the apartment next door approached me in the lobby to ask if we could please keep the loud \u2018antics\u2019 to a minimum, and the couple that lives on the other side of us slipped a note under our door asking us to please \u2018stop with the screaming sex\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n Both times, my roommate just laughed it off and said they need to get a life or grow up.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n International best-selling author Jane Green offers sage advice on DailyMail.com readers’ most burning issues in her Dear Jane agony aunt column<\/p>\n I really don\u2019t want to sound like a prude but this is making my life a bit miserable at the moment and I\u2019ve got no idea how to tell her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She\u2019s clearly not embarrassed, but I\u2019m so mortified what people think that I won\u2019t even take the elevator anymore in case people come up to me to talk about it.<\/span><\/p>\n Please help!<\/span><\/p>\n From,<\/span><\/p>\n Silent Scream for Help<\/span><\/p>\n Dear Silent Scream for Help,<\/p>\n Good Lord.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perhaps it\u2019s my age but I\u2019m exhausted just reading this letter \u2013 your poor neighbors, and poor you! Screaming and banging is no fun for anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n Well… Perhaps for a couple of people, but no-one else!<\/p>\n As for your neighbors and not getting into the elevator, this is not your fault, and you are not responsible for your roommate\u2019s behavior.\u00a0<\/p>\n If they complain to you, tell them it\u2019s even worse living in the apartment with them.<\/p>\n Something needs to change. Try recording just how loud they are, and play it back for her so she understands quite what it\u2019s like to try and sleep through this noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n Failing that, I might be inclined to wait for your roommate to have a night off from her boyfriend, preferably when she\u2019s trying to catch up on her sleep, and bang a few pots and pans in your room, whilst singing very loudly to your favorite songs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Throw in a scream or two. Maybe jump on the bed a few times, ensuring the headboard bangs against your shared wall in a somewhat\u2026 rhythmic way\u2026<\/p>\n I\u2019m hoping that one of the above will help her understand how selfish her behavior is.<\/p>\n If she still doesn\u2019t understand, I would suggest it\u2019s time for you to start looking for a new roommate.<\/p>\n
