I'm going to talk to him. They're at Walmart right now. I can't move out (unless she wants to take me room and pay for it).

Well what steps have you taken towards resolving it other than bitching inside your head and asking ATOT for advice? Have you had a discussion with them about it? It may be an easier resolution than you expect, people will often take advantage of those who just let it slide.
Reader earlier posts. This will be the first time he's confronted his roommate on it.
Start asking him out and getting very sexually suggestive when she's not around. Deny it to your roommate's girlfriend.
I wish I could. I was offered a job where they'd pay for me to move, but I still have $3200 of rent left. First time with a roommate too. I thought maybe that was a normal thing (for people to move in), but everyone I've told has found it to be really douchy...
Eh... The reality is that your roommates are going to have their SO over. It probably bothers you (no offense) because you don't have one, or they have their own place.
It sucks, and I used to HATE it (and went through the exact same thing) and it wasn't until I was a little older that I realized it was I who was overreacting.
She doesn't necessarily need to pay, but he needs to come up with a way to pay for a larger share of the utilities. If he asks her to pay a share, or if he simply picks up the tab, doesn't matter.
But since those two are using more than when it was just him, it shouldn't be hard to use that logic to say to him "you are using more utilities combined than I am using by myself, so please, pay a larger portion than 50/50 split"
5. Pays for nothing (no rent, no utilities, no nothing).
6. Advice?
We have a winner.
My roommate has her boyfriend over quite a lot, so I can see where you're coming from. However... he cooks for us, cleans, and even brings over beer now and again, so I'm not about to complain.
Tell him and her, that now that she's living there, all the rent and utilities will be split up between the 3 of you.
That's it.
If they argue, then you get the landlord involved.
OP seems like he'd have an issue even if the girl was paying for her share of the utilities and/or rent.
One of the problems that comes with roommates is that they're going to have guests and SO's over. And you're not going to like all of them. Really, the only way you're going to be happy is to get a place by yourself.
Oh, and I do not see how this will help. Unless you are looking to force out the other party. If you had a lease by yourself, then your landlord stopped by to tell you you had to include her name because she was over so much, people would throw a shit fit.
As far as landlords are concerned, unless there is a problem with the the actual space leased, they shoudl stay the hell out.
She's fun to hand around
