29-year-old snoops and finds out about roommate's raise, demand they start covering 80% of the rent despite agreeing to 50/50: 'What you make is NONE OF HER BUSINESS'

Roommate situations can be hard to settle, especially if you're around the same age. Maybe you're making a similar amount of money maybe you're in similar stages in life and maybe you need each other to be able to afford your rent. That's what roommates are usually for, after all. But what happens when an imbalance starts to grow? Do you maintain your sense of commonality as roommates or do you start thinking about things a little more equitably? 

Is it fair for one person to make more money and still pay the same amount of rent? These are all tough questions to deal with especially if you lack communication as roommates. These issues will come up and if you don't have a good way to deal with them, they might take over your roommate dynamic. There is no hard and fast rule on how to deal with these types of conflicts, but there are only ways to communicate more effectively. Snooping certainly isn't the answer.
