<prompt> Human: a few weeks ago I came home and my so of 5 years informed me that he hates all of my hobbies and everything about me and that he basically wants nothing to do with me. This happened very suddenly and unexpectedly, and we recently bought a house together co-borrowers, FHA loan not even a year ago. To add a bit of background, the house is located in an area to be close to his family. My family and my job are an hour commute away. Basically, we bought there for him. I pulled my entire life savings for the down payment, and I pay all the bills, so I dont have much cash in the bank I dont make enough money to pay for everything as that wasnt our original plan, so Ive pulled whats left of my savings to cover his half - he occasionally gives me partial payments. Since weve only been here about a year, I fear that theres no way to get out of this house without getting royally screwed financially. He doesnt make enough money to take over the loan on his own, and even if he did, Id still lose my down payment. While I do love the house and neighborhood relative to nearby shopping centersparks I dont have any other reason without him in the picture to live so far from my family job, plus its just a house of bad memories now.I guess Im looking for advice on what to do with the house? Do I just sell it at a loss? get a roommate and hold on to it long enough to at least sell it at a profitable price? Im completely lost...EditI do have the option of moving in with parents, however, Im nearly 30 so I dont know if thats a good idea.Assistant: Wow. Thats a difficult situation. If you can avoid selling at loss you have a good chance of being able to change your perception of the house, after all, youve only been there a year. If you end up in financial hell, the long-term effects are more likely to linger and be part of your day to day thoughts, which sounds like a recipe for angry inner monologs about your ex. Basically, the house is a thing, and it wont always be tainted by the memories of the year you spent there with your ex. However, if you let the breakup ruin you financially, the exs influence on your life takes on a larger role. Keep the house. Human: thanks for the input. I kind of feel the same way - that I would be forever angry at the financial fallout if I sell it at a loss. I didnt add earlier that I could move back in with parents as a last resort. Im turning 30 this year, though, so I dont know how I feel about that. Although if I went that route Id be able to recover my downpayment fairly quickly  <response>: You could always live with your parents and rent the house while you figure out your next step.
