Split up when he has nowhere to go

I want to break up with my bf. However he has no one no friends or family to go to and nothing. If I chucked him out he’d have his car and a few clothes and DVDs. How’s the best way to go about this?!

Is the house yours?

If so it's not your problem where he goes. Presumably he's an adult with a job, he'll have to rent somewhere like a normal adult.

You give him a few weeks to find somewhere else, but he’s a grown ass man. He’s not your responsibility.

Yeah it’s my house. I just feel bad cos I guess it feels wrong? But yeah he’s in his 40s on good money.

he can move into hotel accommodation whilst he looks for a rental?

If he has a car he'll be fine.

He can afford hotels to so I'm not seeing the problem.

If he's a dick or abusive then just get him out ASAP. His life is not your responsibility.

If he decent but its just not working then - can sleep separately (eg: sofa in the livingroom) for a few weeks whilst he find somewhere? 2 week notice maybe.

Tbh I don't think a respectful person would stay more than a day or 2 anyway if they can afford to leave. Just time to book a room somewhere.

He can hire an air b&b or a hotel until he can get a flat.

He will be fine then.

He can afford a hotel. How long have you been together, could he go back to where he was before.

DelphiniumBlue · 08/07/2023 15:36

In his 40s, no friends or family? He can get an airbnb while he's looking for something more longterm.

Then he can rent somewhere to live. You're not responsible for his housing needs.

Thank you all. I guess I just feel mean.
