<prompt> Human: Hi,My girlfriend and I very recently moved into a rented property together. Last Sunday, after a week, she ended it and moved back to her parents and now wants to cancel the lease. The current rent is 833 per month and with bills on top it comes to about 1100. This was fine for both of us but I cant afford it by myself and even if I could, I dont have a guarantor available which is required for sole occupancy.My dad has recently moved in to my grandmothers to look after her and so sold our house as my brother and I moved out so I cant go home like she has. My mum lives several hundred miles away so that isnt an option either.This leaves me in a bit of a situation as all my money went into the property and as weve broken contract we wont get any money back. I dont earn a lot and have debt Im close to paying off but at the moment its a struggle.All my friends are pretty much still at home as theyre my age so they dont have spare rooms to let. Ive been looking at spare rooms but that doesnt solve where to put all my stuff. Im just lost as what to do with myself as I have no money and no where to go. Sob story I know.Right now Im in a rut, not really sure what to do with myself. So any advice from those who have been in a similar position and what they did to get through it would be great.And I have no talents, so using my sob story to win Britains Got Talent wont work either, sadly!Cheers.Assistant: I read a few of your comments and I just want to say that you need to make sure you arent throwing the baby out with the bath water.Your GF left and that sucks. Fine. You still have to make the best of the resultant situation.Wanting to get out because of all this sentimental stuff is BS. Erase this connection of your living space and her from your mind so you can think clearly.It may be your best bet involves getting a new roommate. Your best bet may just be to cut and run and accept the financial consequences whatever they happen to be. You need to become OK with both of these possibilities. If you have to lose money it sucks and if you have to get a roommate it sucks, but there is very likely no ideal here. You very likely just need to pick the least sucky option in front of you.Nothing says that you have to get money back that you put down. Nothing says that you have to give your roommate the sucky room in the space. Nothing says that your roommate has to pay half when they get a smaller room. Nothing says you cant take the smaller room yourself.You need to start thinking about increasing your number of options, because the 0 you gave yourself is just not cutting it. The restrictions you are placing on yourself for no reason at all is just hurting you. You need to be done with both of those things.Human: I suppose. Im still in shock about everything. A lot to happen in a week. I guess Ill agree to break the lease and well take the financial hit. Itll suck but its the best thing to do.  <response>: Why would she agree to get a place with you if she was having doubts? Shes sounds like a pretty shitty person leaving you to deal with that mess alone. Im sorry that happened to you :
