You’ve just dumped a girl after 5 years when she thought there was nothing wrong, and now you’re refusing to cover your share of the flat that she took on in good faith.
i’m not refusing to do anything. i have given her the option of me continuing to pay the rent inc bills until at least jan thus giving her time to find someone else. I think they call that compromise, do they not?
the decision to split up wasn’t as sudden or one sided as you make out. I have my ambitions, she has her flaws, I have mine. we just weren’t compatible in my eyes. so I pulled the plug before it got to another 5 years down the line.
I have no intention of screwing anyone over, least of all her or the landlady. TBH I expected the LL to be a little more understanding of the situation but instead she said she was being put in a difficult situation given the timing. The deposit was put up by my ex’s dad and I would not want for him to lose out as I am very greatful for everything her family have done.
i’m not a nasty person, I just want whats fair and I feel compromise on the issue is the only fair way – either one of us moves out and gets someone else or we both move out and find new tenants.
