How do you get around a situation where you have some bills that you share with someone but everytime you go to pay them or ask how do you want to go about it. There closed minded about it and there is nothing other then saying lets get this done now wether they are happy about it or not. Why do people have to make simple things hard? grumble

I have come to the conclusion that some people just like conflict and making things harder than they should be.

Is it that they are not paying the bills unless you more or less make them? Or is it that they are uncomfortable talking about money.

No the bills get payed, i think you might of hit something as far as being uncomfortable about talking about money.

When you get that figured out, please let me know. Very recently had similar issues with my adult son who was sharing my home. He clams up and it's really hard to have any meaningful conversation about the issues at hand. Uncomfortable situation over something simple. He resolved it by moving out. He'll find out what his $$ will really buy him. frown frown grumble I feel ya Shadow

Sit down & make a list of what bills need paid & by when.

Then ask when she would like to & you handle it so you know it gets done & you don't have any shut off notices or reconnect charges to deal with.
