Want to leave but I'm stuck! Help

So I work full time, TTC with my partner, and while I love him I just can't forgive him for past mistakes and I feel like I need to move on. If I'm not pregnant this month I'm going back on BC and leaving.

We've just signed for a fixed term tenancy (16 months), can I just leave? He's the primary tenant being the breadwinner though the tenancy is in both our names.

I have £2k saved up. Could I just look for a house and leave the tenancy early? What are my options?

You can leave but you will be jointly responsible for rent during the tenancy. There is no "primary tenant". If there is a second bedroom maybe it can be sublet to subsidise your share?

Your tenancy will have a break clause (probably 6months but if you speak to the letting agent they might let you reset earlier. Do give notice asap so they know the situation)

Personally I'd also stop TTC. I dont get how are you planning to "move on" from him, when you are tied to him for life via a child?
You also have no visable means to support this notional child (no permanent home and 2k in savings will barely support you let alone a child)

Omg stop TTC ?!

Believe you and me, a child is not what's missing here. A child will not plaster over the cracks & & make everything better. I speak with experience of this, a child makes it 1000 times worse.

Stop TTC immediately. Do you potentially want to bring a child up into a unhappy environment with a life of half times?

Speak to your partner, see if you can work things out. If you can't, move on.

Absolutely no point in stringing the whole thing along.

Goodness op. If you need to leave why did you enter into the tenancy agreement and why are you TTC. Has something you didn't know about arisen?

I suspect there must be more to this.

Yes didn't include that I am stopping (but I've just ovulated so could be pregnant and don't want to take dianatte yet just in case). So basically I'm going without s3x until I know for sure it's safe to take pill. :(
