Tell her there is no room for a male in your one bedroom flat, that there is always room for her, but at this stage of your life you are unable to accommodate her boyfriend.Many 16 year old girls are very selfish, and she might just be looking for cheap/free accommodation for them both, and if this is true it can only lead to further heartbreak for you.Explain that you will understand if she cant accept your offer of accommodation just for her, and ask that she also understand your difficult circumstances.Good luck with this!
