Hi guys..

I am new to this thread but have been reading some of the posts and feel very at home here... thanx

 

Basically I am after some advice about my current situation...

I have been with a guy for about 18 months.. he approached me about 6 months ago saying 'we need to talk about our future'.. after many times it sort of became a joke about talking... i just thought it was cute and didn't think too much into it... I WAS determined not to be the one to say 'lets move in together' as I knew this was on the agenda.. (by the way, he lives about 2 hours away and we see each other about once per fortnight)

 

So finally he got the courage to have an actual talk, and we discussed how we would go about living together... was amazing... i felt elated!

 

So then my lease came to an end and we discussed getting a house together... finding a place was a very stressful time, as there wasn't much around and when we did find something there were so many ppl looking (as we were looking in brisbane) that a few we applied for we didn't get...

 

part of this decision to move was him changing his job.. this didn't seem to be a problem as he felt that his boss was doing the wrong thing by him...(not paying him enough)

 

so when it came to the crunch... we both signed the lease (for 12 months) and on the night we moved in (he was still living away) he said to me 'i dont' think i can live in brisbane, i am worried about leaving my job and am worried about the traffic'

we had had a couple of drink so only sort of talked about it and then he left the next day..

during the week following he said to me that he didn't think he could live in brisbane so i said to him that i thought he was saying that he didn't want to be with me and said we might as well break up...

The next day he said he was coming up here.. and i asked what for.. then he said... 'i won't bother then' and since then there have been a few random texts but nothing with much substance...

 

I am devastated.... and now have a 12 month lease that i can't afford...

 

any thoughts?

apologies for the long rant, is sort of complicated...

Dont worry about the lease, if you both signed he is responsible for an equal portion of the rent.
