I love Scott to itty bitty bits. I really do. I could kill him right now, but I still love him. When he first considered moving in, I was making more money at a different job. He knows this. At the time, I told him to give me what he felt was fair and affordable. I figured, having a roomie paying something was better than paying everything myself.

He told me he would pitch in for bills and give me what he could afford for rent. Fair enough, right? Only I have not received money for cable at all and he has yet to pay me for two months of high electric bills. He usually gives me 200 a month for rent. Stacy was paying 325 AND she actually paid for electric.

I could overlook the fact that he hooked the cable up in his room and uses it without paying for it if he would at least give me something more than 200 a month. I know he has bills, but so do I. Seeing as how I pay three times the amount of rent he does, I would say our bills are on par. Actually? No. I know I have more expenses than he does.

He keeps telling me he will get me the electric money soon. I hear this every week. I don't want to be a nag or anything, but come on! It has been two months and another bill is surely on the way. If he lets it keep piling up, he will never catch up.

He bought a box spring for his bed today. THIS pisses me off. I haven't seen him yet and I am afraid of what I will say to him when I do. When you owe someone money and you are basically letting them CARRY you, you do NOT go out and buy "luxury" items until you have given them what they are owed. He did not need the box spring. His mattress was working perfectly fine on the floor. I would be happy he finally got one if he didn't owe me nearly 200 dollars for electricity and another 200 next week for rent on top of the electric bill in the mail which will surely be another 80 bucks for him to owe me.

I don't want to nag him. I don't want to be a bitch. I don't want to have a soft backbone, either, but I know how money and living together can ruin a perfectly good friendship and I am determined to not let that happen. If I say nothing, however, I will start to resent his spendings habits, as I did with Keely, and then I will start to resent him.

I feel like he is taking advantage of my generosity. I know he is, actually. Whether he intends to or not really doesn't matter at this point, because I am pissed.
