To be fair alot of people would have problems up and leaving/telling some one to get the hell out.
I strongly suspect if most of you were in a similiar situation, you'd be as paralayzed in place as Ricky. If he tries to up and bail, he has to either make his husband come along with out telling Hamber and Becky. Becky is supposed to be a close friend or what ever it is...
Whilst some how still paying the rent owed on the place, saving up money, and securing a new place. Whilst triggering potentionally huge screaming matches? No, most of you would be paralayzed into in-action as well. That is human nature.
This is not necessarily true. Lots of people move out of roommate situations, whether the roommate wants them to or not. You find a place, get the money lined up (Kentucky semi-rural rent ought not to be much),
then spring it on the roommate. Shouting match? You just slip out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan. Don't need to be coy, Roy. Just get yourself free...
The boys probably remain because against all logic, they
like living with those dinosaurs. I don't know why; maybe loneliness or something? Most guys their age would
want their own place and have it by now. But Eric has his own weird emotional issues, and Rickie, let's face it, is not exactly the brightest star in the galaxy. As long as there is no compelling reason to leave, why rock the boat? They have their own fortress of candles to retreat to when they need it.
.This house will remain in stasis, running on autopilot, until the first medical crisis hits. She lucked out with her falls, but her luck won't last forever. Then comes the test. In a house with huge medical bills with a stinking shrill walrus at the center of it, cutting bait and running will suddenly seem very easy to do.
