writes:Have you ever stayed in a relationship just to not break lease?I'm a college student in a serious relationship. We moved in together because we are going to the same school, and it was convenient. I love him, but he is a nightmare to live with. (Yes, I know it's my fault!!)I just miss my space,sharing my femenine touches with his manly hobbies is not something I am prepared for.I can't sublease, he does not want roommates. Buyout is the whole year's rent.Landlord won't change the contract.I cannot just move out - he cant afford the rent by himself.There is no one I can move with, and my family is on the other side of the country.Both our names are on the lease, so I have legal and financial responsibility. Talking to him is no good, and I rather avoid fights while I am stuck here.I need suggestions on how to deal with this, avoid arguments and try to endure it in the best way possible while the lease ends.Thanks!Ps. I wont break up with him because it would make things awkward, and I'd still be liable for the lease. It'd be an ugly situation. I can't leave for now.

reader, anonymous, writes (21 July 2013): I am in a similar position than yours. My relationship was going like crap but my girlfriend suddenly had to evict all her roommates and ended up having to pay the whole rent of the house. Then, in an attempt to help her economically and to do the last effort in our relationship I moved with her. Well, very soon I lost my job and the relationship has been getting worse and worse. I cannot afford to move right now so I won't break up with her and make things unbearable for both if we still have to dwell in the same space...I am thinking in holding this a couple of months until I can move to my own place... Difficult situation... often I feel like ^^^t and she makes things terrible every single ^^^ing day...which tempts me to break up....but then I remember that things could be way worse, full of crying, drama and anger....and then I breath deeply and tell myself: 'just a few more months...'
