I believe that my roommate is seriously screwing me over. We've been living together for 4 months now, and I've been working really hard to keep up my end of the bills (and maintaining without a doubt). I basically wind up giving him all the money from my checks and begging him for extra spending money. I've just started thinking about it more, and I realized that I only half to give him a certain amount a week to break even. Now I think he's taking my money and spending it himself. I'm going to do research to check to see if this is true. But my question is if this is proven to be true, should I leave my work and my school behind and just leave, or should I stay and start working out my finances in the way I want to whether he likes it or not? I would be so crushed if he's done this to me...

Get copies of each of the bills. Only pay half of those. Only give him what you owe, and no more.

Wait, you're living somewhere and you don't know what you should be paying? Sounds like he is controlling all the money, and if you just naively assume he's telling you the correct amount, then yeah, you're gonna get screwed over. Find out exactly how much the bills are and pay half.

Do you really think you should leave everything because someone is screwing you? you have to start to get tough, because life will smash you if you don't. See this as an experience, learn from it, get over it and protect yourself next time, you have another chance, don't waste it. Prove yourself that you can handle difficult situations, it will be grate for your self esteem. Just take the risk with your head up and face reality, if you don't start to face it now, you never will

If he is ripping you off you need to confront him, I would want to know exactly how much the bills are and shown them and then just pay my share and also if they are in my name pay them myself to make sure they get payed, you must be assertive and know that you don't have to put up with getting ripped off.
