Dirt city: Hi Carolyn,
I need your help with a gross and awkward question. I live with a girl in my med school class who is not much fun to live with. Don't get me wrong, she's great to talk to and hang out with, but I wish I'd never agreed to live with her. She's messy and careless, is careless with my stuff, and our place only gets cleaned when I clean it (which, needless to say, is a disgusting and frustrating experience). This home is not in any way a sanctuary. So I mostly live with my fiancee and come here from time to time to switch clothes and hang out when I know she'll be gone.
The reason I'm writing is because I just went to take a shower and saw my razor on her side. When I looked at it it was obvious she had used it (GROSS!). Part of me wants to confront her, but another part of me knows she will just deny it and then there will be tension. The lease runs through next June and I am fine with hiding at my fiancees place, but I realize I am avoiding a difficult conversation that I should have the chutzpa to have. Help?

1. don't leave your razor around. 2. You can have a conversation (about the razor, cleaning, everything) in an adult, non-confrontational way. -- nm

When the razor example is the only one given, I am forced to assume the writer is a clean freak.
