Is the “Silent Treatment” a Form of Harassment? (Creep Roommate)?

Question by Sarah: Is the “silent treatment” a form of harassment? (creep roommate)?
Ever since I politely rejected my (creepy) roommate’s advances (which were very stalkerish), he has been giving me the full on silent treatment. He literally acts as though I don’t exist and won’t respond when I talk directly to him, and sends out hostile vibes. Why can’t he just behave neutrally toward me?
How should I respond to him in this situation? Is this a good enough reason to ask my landlord if I can break the lease?

  • Dr. Snark ®:

    Ignoring you does not constitute harassment.

  • Mr. Jacob:

    find a new roomate of the same sex that isn’t attracted to you

  • Annie:

    No, it’s not harassment. Just move.

  • Hr?odb?orð:

    Although the legal definition of harassment includes actions by one person that annoy, threaten, alarm or put another in fear of his or her safety, your case is not applicable because the key element of any of these events taking place in public for no real purpose is missing. He just annoys and scares you at home because he doesn’t talk to you. This is not to say there isn’t a fatal attraction thing going on here, however. You should talk to your landlord about the situation and see what he can do, whether it be letting you out of your lease or talking to your roommate.
