That sounds extremly serious. I mean, if she was really that lazy, then you're not "The monster parents tell their children about." You're just a person with common sense.
I was living with a friend once for a short ime, but it was... meh, he was messy and lazy too, so i can imagine the situation.
Being distant because something like that... well, might be a bit overreact, might be not, i dont know the details.
Anyway, i think i know what you mean with the snake. I have a turtle, and he do the same things (he's not blowing bubles tho)... but when you pick him up, he will calm down for a few hours.
And what that was? Talking to another person, about you "problems"
