So I did the unthinkable...

[Splash]

I think I'm going to try some of the suggestions in this thread in addition to searching about for a new living situation. If nothing more, I am at least keeping my options open, and if it gets really bad I won't have to start from scratch. I'm not going to go into detail because you're only going to hear my side and that's pointless of course.

As ironic as it seems, going out usually costs us nothing. It's the day to day apartment type of expenses that are adding up. But that's too specific and giving too much detail for you guys to find a solution for. Thanks for the suggestions so far though. I really appreciate. This situation is really bumming me out

If it's the apartment stuff, why not make up a chart for the stuff you can share (paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc.) and alternate buying it? If it's written down, there's really no arguing. I also really recommend buying your own food and not sharing; takes any confusion out of the equation. Sit down and chat about the stuff that will affect your utilities: set a thermostat temperature, a maximum time limit on showers, whatever. If you're not sharing a room, then your room is your own space to do whatever you'd like. In any shared space you should both be cleaning up after yourselves.
