Does anyone have roommates?
If so, how do you split the living expenses?
Such as rent, utilities, food expenses and such like that?

I used to have a long time ago - everything was split in 1/2; my food was my food though, and roommie's food was her food - we had different cabinets, and things in the fridge were marked with our names.Originally Posted by Dixie_Darlin

I never had problems having roommates, it was actually fun...
Yea, I mentioned it to him one night when we went to the storeOriginally Posted by emrldsky
This is tough, but have you talked to your friend about it, privately? If you're really good friends, he may already see this taking place. And it seems like HE needs to be the one to talk to her about all of these issues.
I'm sorry that you're in such a tight spot!!!
You're right. I don't think it's going to improve.Originally Posted by GailC
I think I would concur withyour thoughts on getting them to move out.
They don't seem to know how to handle money and I think its not going to improve.
You would hate to lose a friend over this but from what you have described-she seems to be a big problem and your friend, her boyfriend appears to let her do whatever she wants.
Give them a couple weeks to find a new place-a firm deadline but no more $$ as you are right you may not see what they owe unless you work out a payment schedule.
Sounds like she needs to find a job too.
You guys are right... They're not paying anything... I just confronted them...Originally Posted by GailC
Well she seems like a spoiled princess!
Look at the rough patches you have had in your life and how well you have worked to overcome them.
And she's pregnant-how is she going to handle motherhood and a baby if she can't even pick up after herself?? Yikes.

You'll never convince me that people were meant to cohabitate. Whether married, friends, acquaintances, whatever; there's always gamesmanship and exploitation.
Whether it requires a 2nd (or 3rd) job, bank heist, prostitution, or what have you - ANYTHING is better than having a roommate.
