Strange to me - yesterday, I thought to myself 'wow, it's already been 6 months seperated' and I thought there weren't any more problems.
Today, I go to the mailbox and pick up my phone bill. Almost $300! Yikes, I don't make that many long distance, I look into it. The phone company is now making me pay almost $200 for a television service from when 'we' were together. Not charging him - charging only me - why? because he is financially irresponsibile, that's why! I am so pissed off - the phone company is being completely unreasonable and I am not letting this go. Why should I be made to pay for this and not him? Why should it effect my credit rating and not his? I don't know what to do - don't know how to fix this so it doesn't mess with my new life.
Other than, suck it up, pay the money and shut up - anyone have any advice? I've already taken the high road many times with this break up - and still getting stuck with his crap. I am starting to get frustrated!

I know this really sucks when one person does this to another.
Talk to your lawyer for some advice. Not sure what can be done, but I wish you well.
I don't speak to the X, haven't seen him / heard from him in 2 months, I am okay with that. Frankly, I prefer it!
The bill in question was 'our' bill. Since I carried on with service, under a new bill, they automatically carried over the charge when they found out that he doesn't have another bill. It's really screwy.
I am so mad about this - I haven't been this upset in a few months - I just wish it would all go away and I don't have to think about him ever again.
And consulting a lawyer, would probably cost me more than it is worth!
If this is a one time bill, ask him to pay 50%. If he refuses, seek legal counsel to determine if he is truly on the hook. Make sure your named does not appear on any accounts you do not want to pay.
To protect yourself financially, you typically have to do a separation of assets, debts, bills, etc. as if you are divorced. I can't see any other way for it to work unless you have written up a contract between you agreeing to what each person is financially responsible for.
