'Cut off our electricity? No problem!': Exes disagree over who will pay electric bill, ex-girlfriend won't answer texts until debt collectors show up

This breakup was pretty messy. Some breakups are simple — you just stop talking and pretend it never happened for a while. Others drag on and on, like the relationship this couple had. 

Splitting the bills as roommates seems to be a common problem that starts drama. These days, you can send a Venmo request without saying a word to your roommate. It's easy to complete their request, or request some money from them, with a few taps of a button. Because the alternative is asking them in person, which might be a little awkward. It leads to conversations where you ask them for money for the electric bill, and they mention that they bought paper towels and didn't ask you for money, and you say that you replaced the hand soap without asking them for money, and so on and so forth. You both think you're already contributing too much to the household funds. For some roommates, these money issues built resentment over time.
