My Weekend Review

What a fun weekend I had. 

Friday night, my family showed up and we spent the evening visiting and playing with the baby.  Once they left for the hotel, I was too tired to go out so I watched a little TV and went to bed.

I woke up early and headed down with my daughter and the baby to the hotel to take some 5th generations pictures and eat some lunch with them.  Then I left them to do their Christmas shopping and I went to some friends house to watch some football and play Rock Band.

My Ex gave me a bit of stress that night constantly texting me.  She is convinced I broke up with her because I have someone else.  I really don't have ANY plans to date.  Especially after being with her.  I have committed to stay single for a very long time and not even date for at least a year.  I need to get to know myself again.

My biggest obstacle is my financial situation.  I cannot afford my house alone and the lease is not up until August.  I thought about getting some roommates but it will still be pushing it and I hate to live with people I do not know.  Plus I only have a week to pay Dec rent.  So I had a friend offer to let me stay at her place while I get caught up on bills but she has like 7 cats and 3 dogs plus a hamster and my youngest is deathly allergic to animals so I would not get to take her ever while I was there.  So that is out of the question.  Then I was contemplating just renting one of my spare rooms and getting another job.  Or letting my ex take the house and I will move and get a cheap apartment or something.  But then my oldest daughter called me and had broke up with her boyfriend and needed a place for her and the baby to live. 

So I just don't know what to do.  I have a week until rent is due and no idea how to come up with all the rent for December let alone pay the utilities and food.  Christmas is not even an option this year.  I'll be lucky if I put up a tree.
It all sucks but I'm sure I'll figure something out and get things organized eventually.  Change is good.  In the long run, it's the right thing for me to get out of that relationship because I was completely unhappy for so long.  And only stayed to avoid the financial problems I am dealing with now.

I think the potential for financial problems is why so many people choose to stay in unsatisfying relationships. If you can't find a decent roommate, maybe it isn't such a bad idea to give the place to your ex if she wants it. Moving is always crappy, but if it means less financial stress, it's probably worth the sacrifice.

This is troubling news. I'm praying you're able to find a quick solution.

It is a shame you don't have any friends looking for a room for now. That would really be a good solution.

Well, that won't work, will it?

How about this crafty idea...

Get back together with your ex *just for a few weeks*. Let her move back in. And then, *you* leave *her* so she'll be stuck with the house!

If your daughter moves in with the baby, will she be able to help with the cost of the house? And then maybe rent a room out and look into part time work? It sucks when financial troubles play a role in what is best for our hearts.

Hmmm
I was in that situation as well a few years ago, I ended up getting another part time job while looking for a roommate... the roommate ended up being my friend R, and now we have been together for a year and a half!
I think you should try to find a roommate but also get another job to help make it all work. It sucks, but it's also nice to make ends meet.
