Thanks for all your help, everyone. You guys really helped cement the idea in my brain that I need to leave and get the ball rolling. So here's the latest update. It feels like forever ago when I posted this thread (so much has happened in the last 9 days). I talked to my parents, I talked to my current landlord, I talked to the drunken roommate, and I told him we're breaking the lease. I have a new place lined up and will sign the lease in the next few days. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly! My folks are going to help pay for me to break the current lease, thank god, and they are behind me 100%. I'm moving to Richmond, KY to start grad school so I will be a good 45 minutes from Lexington. I told him I am moving because of high gas prices and can't afford the commute (which is true) but it allows me to end the situation in a sort of positive way. He threw a hissy fit when I first told him and started throwing random shit into boxes but then I explained how it will cost $400/mo. in gas for me to commute to school every day, which is basically rent, and that logic seemed to quell his anger. So I'm ending the relationship completely in a way that doesn't piss him off and I don't have to worry about him destroying my things during the move. It feels like a breath of fresh air! I know I will be so much happier in my own place and since he has no car that will be an added bonus. Thank you, TFP, for helping me see the light!
