So I split with my ex of 5 years 2.5 years ago. We had a mortgage. I tried to keep it going alone but it was 2 expensive, so I had to sell the flat. I sold it on the condition that I rented it back from the new owner, but I could only afford that for a little while, when it seemed the best thing to do was to share. Unfortunautely out of all of my mates the only one who could was a guy I'd been seeing for 2 months and we'd become mates instead. BIG mistake. He stands over every guy that comes round and makes them feel uncomortable till they leave (both dates and male friends), never lifts a finger to clear up anything so I feel like his mother and sent me a xmas card which went on about how I was perfect and this and that and "love always" He also asked to sleep in my bed two weeks ago cos he was lonely. Er...I said "NO"! In fact he now makes me feel so uncomfortable I'm living in my bedroom and he has the run of the house, which I clean. The contract runs out in November...such a bad decision but half bills and lower rent seemed a good idea at the time. I'm very unhappy. :-(
