Should I say something?
I have a friend. We used to be roommates, sharing one apartment. We shared the load of paying the rent and utilities.
Here's my dilemma. We are not roommates anymore. She moved out like a year ago. But she sometimes sleeps over. And I let her, because I don't want to.push her out on to the streets. Especially at nighy. However, this year, she's been staying in the apartment way often than I like. Using the electricity and water, sleeping on my bed. And she's not paying for any of these. She knows of my financial situation.
I just received the bill for the electricity and water today. The expense is too much for me to pay. I just came home from work, tired. And I see the bedroom looking like a mess. My blanket on the floor, my stuff chucked unto corners. And I just wanna cry. Because I knew she stayed over the weekend without my permission again. And she left the only space I could deflate after a tiring day of work like a pigsty.
I am offended. I want to say something but I don't want to jeopardise this little friendship we got going on. But at the same time I find the situation very unfair.
Ask her to either pay or leave. Yes, you don't want to say something awful but that's gonna backfire on you one day because the extra money you're spending on her could've gone to your savings or to treat yourself from the tiring routine. You need to take care of yourself more, you're already mentally and physically exhausted, she is gonna do nothi......
