comply with his requirements? i used to be late in sleep (ussally 12 o'clock to sleep), disturbing my roommate's sleep. this semester, he began to be bent on revenge. he would sit up to read until 2 o'clock at night and get up at 5 o'clock at morning to read, and make noises meanwhile, such as pulling the door or drawers loudly, and scraping the chairs loudly. i couldn't sleep well at all during the days of his such revenge, which lasted for 25 days. then i cut back after the 25th day. he stopped. i am not a mean person. i hold the idea that when a person continue to do things to hurt others, he would not rethink his deeds and repent until a sort of setback is meted out to him. i cut back to stop him, not for revenge.
but problems occured again. he would read at his bed with his bedlamp on. his bedlamp is so bright that i can't sleep well at all. he knew it.
i had stopped being late in sleep for some time, but later i resumed it again. yet i did things with a light sound to ensure that there would be no noises to disturb him. but he was such a person that he even hated me walking lightly in the dorm when he was sleeping.
he often gets up early to wash clothes while i am sleeping. and his bedlamp would be on every night without fail. i cannot sleep well nearly every night.
some day ago, i complained to him while he was washing clothes early in the morning when i was sleeping. he leered at me and said this was a revenge for me being late in sleep. i said that he had had his revenge for 25 days before, and that exasperated me. he initially said that wasn't revenge, that "he did it unintentionally" , that "i was to blame for it because i failed to mention my complaint to him earlier during the 25 days", and at last said "if you think that was revenge, then it was indeed". he also said that "why do you repeat it again and again? you mean that you look down upon me? well, i look down upon you too".
he at last abused me verbally that "why didn't you fool go to bed earlier, if you fool had gone to bed earlier, then that wouldn't happen". he repeated this sentence at least a dozen times.
at the end we reached an agreement that if i slept before 11 o'clock, he wouldn't get up early to disturb my sleep.
he even can't stand my walking on my hairy slippers when he was sleeping.
i feel angry and sad to be abused by one who is my classmate. if he could mention the things to me politely and respectfully, it would be easy for me to comply with his requirements, but such ways to deal with me is unacceptable at all. i hate to succumb to his threat. and his countenance was full of complacence and malice when speaking to me. his malice startled me.
what should i do? should i seek my revenge, or continue my ways or comply with his requirements?
P.S.: we are both postgraduates. he is 32 and i am 25 years old.
