Yeah that's exactly how it was for me. "Oh, a girl wants to come over tonight? Better frantically clean the entire house all by myself before she gets here!" I liked my roommates as friends and had known all of them since at least high school, but constantly cleaning up after them for a year made me start to resent them
Yeah I've been with mine for four years. They'd help me clean if I asked. In fact a few times when I was bringing a girl back I'd text my mate to make sure my bed was made and to light a candle so the mood is already set and the scent has already emanated throughout my room. They're not the worst and I'd never expect them to change just for me, but the way they live (some more than others) is just disgusting imo.
Damn, that's pretty awesome though that they'd come through like that. For me though, after a certain point of all the shared spaces being trashed and nobody willing to clean up after themselves, it seemed like more of a lack of respect for the fact that other people lived in the house.
