Have you spoken to the second roommate? If it is the first room mate, the one you spoke to this moring, who is home then knock on his door and speak to him. You need to stop avoiding the issue and resolve it. Talk frankly about how much money he has and when he can pay it. Everyone knows they have to help pay for utilities yet they have been taking advantage of your avoident behavior to get out of paying their share. You have to change and you need to keep bringing it up until they pay.

Nothing more to say here except perhaps you need to corner these two guys and find out which one is taking utility X in their name and get the other legacy to do the same.
Then it's a shared responsibility again. The house meeting sounds like a great idea as well.I'm not conceited, conceit is a fault and I have no faults...

Confronted the other. He seemed to imply that he would pay me when he moves out. I don't think I did this confrontation thing very well.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Go back and tell him you need the money now, and if he can pay you when he moves out, he can pay you now, and that the only reason for him to say that is that he won't pay you at all.
Make up some story. Say you're out of cash.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

That's more than enough uncomfortable social interaction for Lori for one day. Instead I'm going to ponder my hypocrisy by thinking about the thousands of dollars I owe to an annoyingly generous friend.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

I kind of wonder what went wrong with me sometimes. If I were my father, or even that brother of mine I don't get along with, this situation would be long since resolved. They are both perfectly fine with, uh, confronting strangers--sometimes quite vocally. And it's not always gone pleasantly for them, either; my brother has gone to jail because of his penchant for confronting strangers. But he still does it. I can be assertive and aggressive and angry in pretty much the exact same way, but not in public or with strangers.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Actually the biggest problem I see here is.
Because two previous roommates moved out last year prior to the end of the lease, I came to be responsible for two of the utilities (electricity, gas). Then, come August, two new roommates (who are friends) moved in.
But anyway, congrats on at least confronting them. Take your break as a reward for doing it but don't rest too long. Go back an get final resolution. You've done the hard part already so it should be easier.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I didn't find them. They answered an ad the landlord put out. They're also students at Maryland. Prior to these last two years, I have always lived with people I knew. When the ex and I broke up, my (good) brother had a friend of a friend who was looking for a roommate, so here I am. That friend of a friend is long gone.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
