I feel as if I am a completely different person than I was when I first joined this site. Then I was an angsty teenager and a high school athlete. Every spare hour I had was spent on Starcraft 2 laddering. I really miss the nightly Skype call I used to partake in with my then group of friends. I sometimes think that if I had followed the same path as them and attended a university, I might still be in contact with them. 16-18 year old me does not even reflect a fraction of who I am now.

I currently work for a great family run company that makes massive profits. At first I was struggling to fill my position and show that I could pull my own weight. Now i can fill 6 positions and just recently covered my initial trainer's(boss you could day) position for 3 weeks. I feel now as if I can walk around with my head held high because of my track record. I accomplished something that no other co-workers could. All of them, but one can also cover multiple positions as I do. Even then he is not able to transition between different posts as smoothly as I can. Work is the main focus in my life, since it provides me with enough money to live on my own.

Here is the problem. I currently have been living with my brother, his gf, and my niece for a little over a year. I pay half the rent for a 2bdrm/2 bath apartment. the reason I pay half is because I wanted fair say in whatever went on in the apartment. His gf takes advantage over the fact that I can provide and cover for half of the household bills. Recently she refused to pay me back $15 that I used to fill her empty tank, keep in mind; whilst I was doing her a favor and taking my niece to pre-school. That wasn't a huge deal, I mean it is only $15. What makes it a bigger deal than it has to be is that she ALWAYS brings up the past. My brother would drive me to work when I first moved in, since I had no car. Even then we both work at the same company/have the same schedule, so he would literally already be making that commute. Her reason for not giving me the money was "you never gave your brother gas money." I tried many times, but he would always refuse. It's been over 8 months since he has driven me to work. Yet that still has to be brought up and mentioned.

Just yesterday I over payed 50 on our rent because I was covering a small portion of their rent. When I asked her for the money she continued to bring up past problems and refused to pay me my due cash. I am completely fed up with her reasoning and childish ways. She has no respect when it comes to me. I literally can't have a simple adult conversation and get what is due from her. I told them last night I am moving out come November. I am done being taken advantage of and being a nice guy. Oh and they also never gave me money to cover the internet bill(which was the most expensive bill in the household) for a whole 11 months. I never mention it. Money is the least important to me, its the matter of things. Whenever they ask for money to cover utilities I give it to them promptly. Yet when I ask for a simple favor of returning money that is rightfully mine I get into a useless argument. Any advice is welcome.

I worked a 12 hour shift tonight, it was on my mind the whole time. I had to get this off my chest somehow.

Your best bet is to research other places of residence to move to. Don't take people's shit.

Move out, or stop giving them loans without making it super clear that you want all of the money back. Also if you pay half of the rent, just say you're unhappy with how she treats you, and that you're thinking of moving out.

You're doing the right thing by moving out. If you really don't want to just make it painfully clear to them that you will not loan a single cent more unless they (she) understand that you expect it to be paid back. You have said that this isn't a matter of friend to friend loaning anymore, this is a matter of respect. So treat it as such! You work hard, you should be respected.

Thanks for the advice guys! Yea I told them that I'm moving out and made it known I'm not going to out up with any of this nonsense anymore. I believe I'm a good hardworking person and show them a lot of respect. I just expect the same in return, but they have yet to show it.

There is nothing adult about asking people to give you money back.
