Well, I've been living with my ex and most of the time we can't stand to be near each other. We had discussed a number of options to resolve the problem including moving to a different room of the house--which never worked out. We had discussed me moving out sometime next year. She now has a boyfriend that she has fallen in love with and him likewise to her. She had changed the date when she thought I should move out to "in a few months", because he was going to move in with her after that. Now, she says I should look for a new place right away.
How do I feel about this? Actually pretty good. I'll get to have my own place where I can easily manage it's cleanliness, not have stuff move on me, not have to find out something I liked a lot got broken, etc. I'll get to organize my place so that it works well for me in moving about. I'll be able to keep only healthy food to remove the temptation to eat junk. I'll be taking my dog with me, who will now be able to get more attention and I'll finally have a place where I can invite friends over.
So, starting tomorrow (Monday), I'm going to be doing some apartment hunting. I have a couple places I want to look at. I need to find places that accept pets--even with an extra deposit. I'm going to do some searching online today for places that best meet my personal criteria and maybe I'll even be able to move out by the end of the month. After moving, I will be living in an extremely limited way until I can afford to buy more things like a bed, more dishes, or whatever. My ex says she is fine with me taking almost anything, so I do have some freedom. So, now I have something to look forward to in the near future. Change is nice.
