Are you 50 years old or something? Otherwise, there's no reason to put that in quotes.

Why not talk to him about it? Going about it in a passive-aggressive manner (like by blocking her wireless access for instance) is pretty shitty. Man up and admit you don't like having her around.

Thats the tricky part for me honestly. At what point did your faincee start paying 1/3rd? Before she was actually your future wife or after? He will likely argue she doesn't live there so she doesn't owe her share while I would contend if she has her own key she pays on the bills.

OK, so my fiancee and I currently roommate with my brother. That scenario isn't ideal, but bearable.

Enter his pseudo-girlfriend type person. First, my fiancee and I can't stand her. I'm sure that plays a large role in how we feel, but at this point I'm pretty much done and don't give a shit.

She is constantly here. She uses the internet, the cable TV, she showers here, she comes here for lunch sometimes, etc. I wouldn't mind as much if my brother was here too, but she comes here on her own when he's not home! :| This angers us to no end, and makes me actually scoff and not want to come home when I see her car here. It fucking sucks, and I'm fucking done paying for shit that she uses. She's here right now hogging the living room/TV. My brother is home, but he's in his room.

I don't want to "cause drama", but what the fuck am I supposed to do? It makes me angry and uncomfortable. She needs to contribute something to the household if she's here so much.

I'm about 2 clicks away from blocking her computer from MY wireless network. :evil:

I guess I just don't know how to approach this without seeming like I'm just trying to stir shit up.

fuck that...you're house...you're rules....lay down the law and if they don't like it...fuck'em tell them to hit the road.....blood or not...don't take that kind of shit.


family can really suck sometimes.
