Second thoughts about kicking out cocklodger/useless man. Talk sense into me

I’m kicking him out for lots of reasons and I need a good head wobble which I know you are all good at. Sorry if this is long!

The reasons include: he has cleaned the house once since moving in two months ago and we both did it so it was 50% of once, he doesn’t even change loo rolls, he uses my car everyday for work and never really asked or said thanks and has never taken me out to practise driving, caused mould problems in several rooms, broken several things + chipped lots of paint and not apologised or offer to repair/replace (in fact said I shouldn’t get upset over material things)
He is also dismissive of my feelings or calls me dramatic, gambles, is a dangerous driver, very focused on money but has none, not supportive of me, says he doesn’t have time to do things with me (but could magically always find time for sex 🙄)
In the couple of days before I gave him notice he snapped at me over something very cocklodgery, gave me the silent treatment because I asked him to take the bin out, watched a football game while driving and peed on someone’s front hedge/wheelie bin instead of finding a toilet 5 mins away

The problem is that despite everything it’s been nice to have someone around the house. And in fact we’ve kind of got on better since I gave him notice because I’ve stopped expecting anything of him and we’ve been civil but he’s out or shut in a room a lot so I know he’s here but don’t really see him

I’ve always thought I like living alone but I guess maybe not as much as I thought? But how could I trust that a random lodger will be nice and pull their weight when I thought my bf was nice and clean but it quickly turned out he can’t manage the bare minimum of either of those things?

I know I’ve made the right decision and I was so proud of myself. But now I feel really silly for doubting it and to be honest a bit pathetic for feeling sad about him leaving

Make a list of all the money and damage he's caused you in these two months.

Then multiply that by 10 years.

If you are still feeling in need of company these guys are looking for a loving home. They won't stay this cute for ever, mind.

Oh my god!! If I didn’t have a little suburban garden I would have them, sooo cute!! 😍😍😍

It's not your insurance is it? You are properly insured with him gone?
