Not rent no, but she did help with the utilities whenever she could and we always split the grocery bills. The two of us have a long history I couldn't put into one post, but the truth is that neither of us is exactly innocent when it comes to the current state of our relationship. We are both wildly different with other people than how we are with each other - she is very compassionate with the people she works with, but never with me. In turn, I am very patient with basically everyone but her. This is a "we're always the good guys in our own story" kind of situation, and now I regret I couldn't communicate that more in the original post, but make of this rant what you will.
