I lived with my best friend from high school. We knew the stories. We thought we were different. We lasted two months as room mates and haven't spoken since.

To be fair, I had no idea he had such an Oedipus complex. When we were in high school, I didn't see how much time he spent talking to his mother because he lived with her. When we got into the dorms, he would call his mother 5-10 times a day AND write her two letters a day. As an example, I remember him going on a date that lasted two hours. When he got home, he called his mother and discussed the date for FOUR HOURS. He would literally call his mother before going down to dinner to let her know that he was going to dinner and he wouldn't be there to answer the phone if she called.
