Practical advice needed.

I have made the decision to leave my partner - it hasn't happened the way I wanted, I wanted more of a planned move but I found some inappropriate texts on his phone from an ex of his and just lost it, I previously have posted about this around this time last year, but ignored all the wonderful advice I was given like the idiot that I am! But, I have never left anyone in this way before, I really need some practical advice on what to do from here, what to sort out etc.

No DC, we have a house that is rented in joint names with 3 months left on the tenancy, a car on finance that is in my name only but he insures, MOTs, puts petrol in etc. (I won't be able to afford to rent the house or own/run the car on my own) so really not that many ties but I am TERRIFIED that im going to end up homeless and broke and go crawling back to him AGAIN.

I'm very young, I have my whole life ahead of me.. I'm staying with a friend at the minute, but I can't seem to even get my head around what I need to do first to sort out this shit shower any advice would be much appreciated Sad

I don't have any advice but I'm in a very similar boat and it sucks. Sad

Is moving back home an option? What relationship do you have with family.

Can you continue to rent a room with your friend you're currently staying with?

Contact your landlord and discuss the tenancy. They're unlikely to persue you for the remaining rent as this would costs then more in court fees than the rental amount. It's more likely they'll agree to terminate the tenancy early, unless your ex wants to continue on without you.

Don't consider staying in a shot relationship for the same of car finance, that's all fairly easy to sort.

I would rather rent a room in a shared house than life a life of paranoia with a cheat.

Apologies for the awful autocorrections, bloody tablet!

There is the potential for family, but it never goes particularly well, they're never particularly happy to have me and it means that things can be tough. The last thing I think I need right now is more difficult things haha!

In terms of tenancy, I think I'm going to speak with my landlord tomorrow regarding what can be done, and the car I have been reading through the paper work trying to figure out what I need to do.. I'm just not particularly good at managing myself, until today I didn't really realise how much support I have in real life.. I think things might actually be alright.. maybe.

Hi there, can your partner afford to keep the house on until the end of the tenancy? if so, you can get the landlord to agree to have your name removed from the tenancy. If he can't afford it alone, ask the landlord if he would agree to terminate early.
Going forward, could you look at just renting a room in a shared house? You say you are only young and you have no DC so this might be the best option for you.
Please do not feel tied to this person. You can do this alone, you are a strong female.
