Moved into a new apartment with a friend of mine about a month and a half ago. We got a credit on about half of our rent for the month of January and I thought it would be a good time for us to start slowly getting pieces together for the apartment.
So far everything we have in the apartment is things I brought (dining table, chairs, tv, kitchen appliances, etc.) everything. So I’m starting to feel resentful and taken advantage of when the conversation of a $40 shoe rack gets brushed aside. She doesn’t really have a date or idea for when she will buy anything for our common area and I asked if she’d prefer I just furnish the place and she could cover the electricity/wifi until her “half” evened out. She was really upset by this and said she feels like she’s being forced into buying things and then having things held over her head. AITA???? What’s a reasonable time frame to have the basics in a shared apartment?
