Q: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I live with my 2 roommates and my girlfriend in a northern city. We live in a big old house that was built in the 1930s, so it tends to get a bit drafty. As such, it's safe to assume the temperature is about 5 degrees colder than what the thermostat says it is at a given time. Also safe to assume lots of the heat energy from the furnace gets wasted because drafty house. Cue my dilemma...

&amp;#x200B;

Being a 20-something with no money (and as someone who grew up in the snow), I see trying to keep this house any warmer than 65 as a losing battle, especially considering how old and drafty it is.  I'd much rather layer up and focus on warming myself up rather than the whole house. I hate to sound like a dad, but I just don't want to pay money to heat the neighborhood.

&amp;#x200B;

My roommates, however, feel much different. They often crank it way up, even past what I consider to be necessary to make the house comfortable (I'll admit 65 on the thermostat isn't the warmest and I'm fine with it being left at 68). But this is ridiculous. I came home one night last week and basically started sweating as soon as I walked in; when I checked the thermostat it was set to **85 degrees!** When I turned it back down to 68, my roommate stared at me and claimed it was freezing in here. (Remember I just walked in from the outside and was burning up so no, it wasn't). I didn't even know how to respond so I just stared at him for a sec before going up to my room.

Well we got our first utility bill since winter started last week, and lo and behold it was about twice as much as it was the month prior. We've always split these bills evenly between the four of us and it was never an issue, but I feel like this circumstance is different. I don't want to be forced into paying evenly for the heat and I specifically told them at the beginning of winter how I felt about the thermostat. I wouldn't ask them to split the water bill evenly if I took a 2 hour shower each and every day, so why should I have to subsidize their choice? Especially when the majority of the heat was probably wasted, being an old house with shitty insulation and all.

And just so you know, this isn't only about the cost of keeping a drafty house warm. I sleep much better in cooler temperatures. (Maybe TMI) I sweat very easily if I'm too warm at night, and when I do, I always wake up and have to reorient my blankets and stuff so I can get back to sleep. So not do I feel forced into paying for heat I don't want, I also have been sleeping poorly whenever one of them turns it too high and leaves it (which has happened a bunch over the past month or so) and its becoming a real problem. 

&amp;#x200B;

I should state that my wonderful girlfriend has been sympathetic to my issue and offered to pay a portion of my part herself (she too prefers it warm, but much more reasonably so). But I don't want to do that because it's totally unfair for her alone to pick up my slack - if I do end up paying less, I'd want the remainder to be split evenly between the other 3.

Idk Reddit, you tell me: would I be an asshole if I refused to split this utility evenly? Should I just bite the bullet, pay this and future bills, and find some thicker-skinned roommates next time?

&amp;#x200B;

TLDR; Am a frugal hoe who loves the cold, roommates turn heat up too high and I don't want to pay for it. Am I an asshole if I give them less than what they're asking for?
