In many ways, Lance holds up his end of the roommate bargain that comes with long-term partnership.

I just don’t understand why this is such a block for you. Can you try harder to clean up after yourself in the kitchen?”And then deliver your own consequence. Tell him, “I’m so frustrated by this. The next time I find food waste festering on the counter and sink, I’m going to serve it to you as a salad.”
