Thank you Eric, Mach and Cat.

Eric, I can assure you that my motive for repaying H the money is not me trying to get him back. The reason I mentioned me living on a fourth of his income is because $16.60 really means less to him than it does to me. Especially as his reasons for not following through on the D is because he doesn't want to share 'his' money with me.

Mach, you made me LOL. Your response was much nicer than the one I felt like shooting off as a first reaction to that email.

Cat, I must admit that what you said hadn't even entered my mind. I didn't make those phone calls but if he's truly thinking I may have, well then he can just go on believing it. I won't respond.

Merry Christmas to you too, my friend.

I get it that he's paying the utilities and that extra charges aren't necessary. What made me angry is why did he approach it in this manner? What was the purpose? I would have been glad to respond to an email asking if I could find out who was racking up the extra charges in a decent tone.

For whatever reason H has gone back to anger mode again, not just with this incident but with several other things he's said lately. He hasn't shown anger like this since BD.
