<prompt> Human: My bf of 9 years and I moved into this apartment in November and he had a really great job and I was in the process of getting a higher paying job to be able to support more on my end. Well needless to say he lost that job, and i dont know why i thought he was going to keep it, because he loses every job and now since January everything is falling on me.The higher paying job is nice, but they cut my hours last month and since he isnt pulling in any money we have been barely scrapping by and having to ask his mom for money and I hate it. This month I have been having health problems and have been missing work so now we are 800 short on rent usually rent is 1000 and have only enough money for bills and make a little extra on the side with Uber Eats. My bf thinks we are going to be able to come up with the money but I know we arent. Its either I break the lease or get evicted. The apartment wants 2000 to break the lease plus a prorated for June before we move out the 27th. There is no possible way I can afford that so I have to let it go to collections and work with them on paying it back. I already told my bf that we are breaking up and Im moving back home so Im not sure where he is going to go. I have never broken a lease before and everything is in my name, how bad is this for my credit? How long do I have to pay this back? Im assuming my exbf isnt going to be giving me any money for it when it goes to collections. The manager in the office said if its paid back it wont effect my chances of renting there again. Tldr; Breaking my lease today and need to pay 2000 plus prorated for June. Cant afford that and its going to collections, how bad is it for my credit?Assistant: Your boyfriend or you cant come up with 1Kmonth somehow? Sounds like he needs to go wait tables or walk dogs or clean pools or something.Human: I have tried suggesting places to work and places that are hiring since he lost his job. He says hell do it but never does. Hell say over and over that he needs a job but does nothing about it. I can usually afford it, but its caught up to me with bills, missing payments on bills, and missing work for health reasons. He hates working so its more pressure on me.  <response>: Does he expect to live on your dime forever? Thats not how a couple get to be, or continue to be, financially stable.
