I've lived with my best friend of several years since the end of October. We generally get on well and otherwise I enjoy living with him. However, he has a habit which really irritates me. Am I justified in being angry and wanting an end to this behaviour or am I being too sensitive and he has a right to do this?
He likes to play videogames, and plays them in his bedroom pretty much most of the day. He also likes to talk on Skype with the people he is playing with. This doesn't bother me during the day.
But it is really annoying me that he is jabbering away on Skype at night when I'm trying to sleep in the room next door. Particularly when he is winning/losing and begins shouting, yelling, stomping, clapping, etc. There have been many times, around every second night during the holidays, that he has either kept me awake until the early hours or woken me up. When I have an early alarm but he can sleep all day and he keeps me up all night yelling away at his videogame friends is when I particularly lose my temper.
I have brought the issue up with him several times, in light hearted ways, in angry ways, in joking ways, in serious ways, he has not listened.
Am I justified in being angry with him?
Am I justified in asking him not to be on Skype late at night?
If yes, how do I approach this situation with him and make him listen?
If no, any advice on how I can sleep easier?
Thank you
