   Living with a roommate can be a great experience as many roommates become lifelong friends. However, roommates living together under the same roof for a long time unavoidably conflict with each other. 16 To prevent this from happening to you, each conflict should be addressed in a productive, healthy way.

   1. Set a time for discussion.

   Once conflicts occur, you need to set up a time to discuss the conflict. 17  They may think about any problems they want to discuss. It also allows for a better discussion as the both roommates will most likely enter the discussion fairly calm.

   2. Make rules for discussion

Before discussing the actual conflicts, set up some rules to guide the discussion. For example, each roommate is allowed to air one problem at a time and the other roommate has a chance to respond to it before another one is brought up. Making rules beforehand can prevent a screaming match from breaking out. 18

3.   19    

You can use your discussion to point out to your roommates their great traits and specific things you like about them. While this won’t solve the conflict, it can help your roommates be more understanding of your point of view and more willing to compromise.

4. Come up with a written roommate agreement

Once grievances（不满）have been aired by both parties you should develop a roommate agreement that is written down. This agreement should discuss what the rules are as well as what consequences exist for breaking them. For example, roommates having a conflict about overnight guests may compromise to allow overnight guests only on weekends with guests on weekdays being gone by 11 p. m.  20 

A. Talk about your problems openly

B. Point out good things about roommates

C. Being honest can avoid unfriendly discussion

D. This provides both parties a chance for preparation

E. And disaster can strike when a conflict never gets settled

F. A consequence may be that the violator(违反者)pays $ 5 for breaking the rules

G. This is because both sides know they will have an opportunity to speak.
