Advice: ending a relationship

    Hi

    This is really kind and considerate but you need to be aware that you are in a bit of a legal minefield.

    Does your partner have a CPN? If not you need to speak to her GP. Possibly very shortly before or after you tell her the relationship is over.

    Because your partner is living in the house, if you move out and she tries to stay (even if only because she cannot get it together to find an alternative), you remain liable for the rent.

    I would suggest you speak to Shelter and I suggest that your GF is going to need help finding alternative accommodation BEFORE you move out.

    Otherwise you could get into a real pickle financially covering both lots of rent and even bills.
    She doesnt have a regular person, when she has an episode, a psychiatrist doctor (could have been a nurse but the woman said she was a doctor) came round once or twice per day for a week or so until they were sure she was near a "normal" level of activity.

    she doesnt go to the doctors unless a problem comes up, she gets a repeat prescription of anti psychotic which she takes.

    Never knew about her being able to stay in this house, if thats the case i might have to give her a month and hope her mum taakes her in.

    I would let her family know, and then end it.

    She needs to sort out her benefits, with perhaps the help of the CAB, as you cannot be financially liable for her.

    Good luck.

    You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands..........for instance, if they are placed around your throat, she's probably slightly upset. ;)
  • Please talk to her and her family as soon as possible to let them know what is and will be happening in January, which is not that far away. I hope her Mum will take her in now. A clean break both physically or monetary would be the best for all parties, you show a lot of kindness and caring and I am sure you will do your utmost to see that she is settled before you go.

    Take care.

  • what does everyone think?

    I think that you seem like a very nice person - just wanted to say that.

    I'm not sure I have any advice other than what has already been given, but they're generally a supportive bunch on here.

    Best of luck!
