    That's not your significant other??? I'm about to have someone move in and split this rent so I can keep some pocket change and all that but for youall that have been in this situation before or are doing it now how is it? What should I expect? How do y'all divide stuff like food and all that? I'mthinking about having it "everyman for himself" cause I cant cook, so whatever you buy is yours and what ever I buy is mine. Sound like a plan?

    i think that is asking for problems to occur. You guys should just come to an agreeement about that the food is both of yours & that you guyscan share it freely. But what you should do is that the person who finishes the last of something has the responsibility to replace it.

    Find someone similar to u, with they head on straight... Very clean, and make sure they like to party, but only once or so a week.

    My roommate is smart, antisocial, burps every 2 mins, queefs every five, his side is dirty, he showers every 2-3 days, and never goes out, and i've hadgirls in here and its extremely awkward with him doing nothing all day. On the bright side he helped me with my calculus hw today [​IMG]

    also you should try to find someone that is similar to you, but someone that isnt too similar to you. Where there are a few differences, also findsomeone who is ok with you bringin females over at any hour.[​IMG]

    Dude who's moving in is my homie's homie... dude is alright, on that black boy white boy tip if you've heard that Yung LA and Young Dro mixtape. Heworks overnight and I work early in the morning so if I did have people over it wont affect him. I'm mainly just trying to see what others have gonethrough so if and when some misunderstanding happens I'll have some insight on how to resolve it. Ya know.

    i'd say this is absolutely crazy. the last thing you want to do is split food costs between the two of you.

    that will bring about wayyy more trouble than if you each bought your own.

    i've done it this way (buy your own food) the past 2 years, and i can tell you, it works fine.

    -Dude is clean and good with money
    -I'm good with money and I can manage myself...(i.e. cooking,cleaning,and work wise)
    -bad thing: Me and dude are big time gamers and we can't really find a fair way to split the electric bill

    just split all bills in half unless one has to have the extra cable package and the other doesn't want it...they can pay the extra...but theother would probably watch it too so i would say EVERYTHING in half far as utilities...
