    Are roommates not a thing anymore, like at all?

    Before I bought a house, I had roommates I found in the classified ads and through friends (when I had friends), because I’m old and this was before the internet.

    I understand that it’s harder to find apartments that rent month-to-month, and getting trapped in a lease with someone you don’t know well is a concern. Has this made it virtually impossible?

      I heard there’s a resolution in Britain going through the system that would make people liable to pay their partner alimony, etc., even though they’re not married.

      we all know which gender will be required to pay out.
