    Font - We live in a city where you need to have roommates if you don't make over 95k/year. Anyhow, my fiancé can fly off the handle pretty quickly.

    Font - We had a roommate (not the best, at all), but it's all we had. He made a mess of the kitchen every now and then and had smelly feet and would not swiffer- stuff I can tolerate.

    Font - Anyhow, my fiancé flew off the handle one night because the roommate was drunk and talked about spiritual stuff and kept trying to talk. My fiancé flipped out, told him to gtfo and he could afford the place himself; and the roommate said to me, "Im moving out Im sorry. I can't live with your fiancé. I've lived with so many different people. He's terrible."

    Font - I gave him $1000 out of my savings earlier in April for Mays rent and bills. He interpreted it as "oh you didn't specify it was for rent" as he said he'd send it back to me and I said keep it use it for rent bills etc.

    Font - Now with may coming up, he is saying I am an asshole for not giving him more money for rent and splitting it evenly? Like an extra what 1400??? For 2400 total??

    Font - I just starting working 2 jobs 7 days a week over 50 hrs and still won't see the same money he's bringing in every month..

    Font - My argument: I'm not the reason the roommate left, you are, and you told the roommate you could afford it, why do I need to split it evenly? I've posted about roommate wanted, sent them his phone number because he wanted to screen them, and he didn't respond to them apparently. Also, I sent $1000 earlier and because I didn't specify he blew it on hobbies he wants, when I told him, "I'd love to do those too, but I'm focused on saving for a house, and to be financially stable to have those

    Font - Vegetable-Cod-2340 21 hr. ago Yeah, this sounds like the kind of guy that will let house go into foreclosure, but just bought a boat. Also when a roommate warns you that he's terrible, believe them, they've seen him at his very worst.
