So a bit of an update.
I have left my house and am staying in Essex with family most of the time at the moment. I am going back there periodically, but am only going to actually sleep there 6 or 7 more nights until D-Day on/after the 28th of February.
Thanks everyone. It has been a horrendous time. Roll on 2024 haha.4 -
This relationship situation is awful and a similar one i found myself in many years ago, i hope yours goes smoothly now.2

More of an update.
I had arranged a Guarantor for her as well for her next place, but this has now fell through as he isn't comfortable with it anymore.
He wanted to do for a fixed period of say 2 years, he then said it was OK for him to be a guarantor without that stipulation, but he has now changed his mind.
Obviously not ideal for her, but inside I am relieved tbh. He said to me that he wanted me to deal with it if any non-payment issues arose. I didn't really want that worry and stress. It was his choice though.1 -
Whatever you do, don't agree to personally be her guarantor!!!
Remember, this is only your "problem" for another 4 weeks...don't extend it.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)11 -

It's just made the situation a bit more difficult, that's all.
Her problems are NOT your problems unless you make them so.
Wishing you all the best."The problem with Internet quotes is that you can't always depend on their accuracy" - Abraham Lincoln, 18647 -
That is a huge weight and responsibility.
You have done more than enough from what you have stated.
It comes across that you have spoilt her and she does not see herself renting a place by herself.
Maybe the local council can help her but DO NOT be a guarantor as if she unable to pay they will come after you.0
