Amber Hollingsworth explains how to stop regularly paying someone's bills without creating a crisis. Give them months of notice so they can adjust, even though you don't need permission to stop. The shift from obligation to boundary is the hard part.
But this one is a little different. Changing an arrangement that someone has relied on for a really long time is different. If you've been paying their electric bill every month, you already know they're probably expecting you to pay it next month. They're counting on you for something you don't want to keep providing, but they're still counting on it. So this is not the one you want to spring on them when the shutoff notice arrives. You know what? You figure it out. I'm done. That's not the attitude you need to have. From your side, That decision's been building for months. From their side, they may be hearing it for the first time with 3 hours left to solve the problem. You don't need permission to change the arrangement, but I do want you to give them a reasonable chance to plan for the change.
