Absolutely. When you're fighting, the more time you spend together, the worse it's going to get. The best thing you can do is remove yourself from the situation and give yourself and your friend time to cool down. This way, you can actually enjoy the time you do have together when you go out and such. Find other friends to hang out with too.
As far as what you're fighting about, I would recommend having an open, honest, and civil discussion. Emphasis on civil. No yelling or screaming or accusing. Use "I feel" statements. Maybe this way you can figure out the real issues and find a solution to them. Perhaps you could sit down and make a budget together and discuss when each of you is going to have your half of rent, etc. If going out is too costly, maybe you guys could arrange a girls night/movie night/potluck at your place to save money but still have fun with friends. I have seen way too many friendships ruined by living together, and I would hate to see that happen to you.
