Just wanted to say that my last post is not a response to your post, we were writing at the same time and I had not seen your latest post yet. Also, please don't take what I say about your room mate as my making excuses for her how she is behaving.

Ok, so she came out and chatted with you a little last nite. She asked you if you were enjoying your dinner, and you decided that she was baiting you to feel like you needed to get her some dinner too. It's very possible she was doing that. It's understandable how you felt a need to set a boundary with that. However, isn't how you have made meals and her eating the food you got part of why you are now paying less in rent? Could her sister have said something to her after all even?

I think what needs to happen is better communication so this baiting feeling you experienced last night doesn't happen. Maybe you can explain things directly to your room mate by writing her a note or texting her? If you are paying less because she has eaten your food or you prepared food for her, then that is what she will expect from you. You can make enough dinner for her to eat, if she doesn't choose to eat it then that's her problem. It could be this woman is used to having things done "for" her and that is something she experienced a lot when she was busy working in this hollywood business world. Some people really can't cook meals and order out a lot. And a lot of individuals that are involved with that business often work on different projects and they work all kinds of hours and a lot of the time food is prepared on location like a kind of cafeteria.
