The author, who works four days a week at an office, shares a flat with Richard, a full-time remote copywriter. They have lived together for nearly four years, but differences in bill payments have arisen since Richard started working from home during the pandemic. The author believes it is fair for Richard to pay a larger share of the utility bills, particularly during winter months when heating is used heavily. Despite their discussions, they haven't reached an agreement, leading the author to propose a 60/40 split on electricity and heating bills to reflect their differing usage.
I think things should be equitable, rather than equal. Richard is more of a it all comes out in the wash kind of guy.
Last year we got a bill of over 100 in January and I wasn't even here... I still split it with Richard, but I wasn't happy.
I’d like to avoid doing that this year by splitting the electricity and heating 60/40.
It all helps to rack up the electricity bill. This sounds like I'm complaining about his habits but I'm really not.
