My roomate claims that her DSL didn't work this last month and refuses to pay her part of the bill...Help!
Answer:
no, she should pay her half. She will need to deal with the phone company on this. It is not your fault that it did not work so you should not have to pay it.
ewww.that sux! just comfront here and if she starting to get mean about it then by your own place or share with someone else. Give her some warnings and see if she changes her attitude and pays the bill.
You shouldn't have to pay her half. If the DSL didn't work, did she contact you or contact the company that provides your DSL?? If she did, and it's true that it didn't work for the month, then you should neither one have to pay. You can call and negotiate with the company. If she didn't tell you or contact the company, then she made no reasonable efforts to remedy the situation. Therefore, she should be expected to pay for her half. I would just explain this to her and chances are, she'll pay her half. If this is a pattern, then you need to find a new roommate.
Did your DSL work? I mean, it is not like you have separate DSL lines right? If yours worked and hers didn't, then it is not your fault or the provider's fault.. she needs to pay half. The time to tell you that the DSL isn't working is when she first noticed it, not when the bill is due.
She should have called the ISP tech support WHEN it happened. Her lack of action and responsibility should not equate to your problem if she is incapable of taking action to correct matters in her life this is not your problem she is certainly capable now that she is being asked for the money isn't she.Bad guy who is trying to play who?
Don't allow others to use you, let her kow you don't accept the manipulation and call her out, she has probably endured the misfortune of others allowing her to do so with them
Help her grow, Doing the most loving thing does not always feel good, It is the most loving thing for both of you isn't it? Now you need to allow yourself to grow, stand up in spite of what you may look like and show yourself some love. You do not need to accept usery or abuse from anyone ever again, the question is what do you want in your life?
