Breaking Up and Moving Out

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this board. Here's my story.
I have been w/ my boyfriend for 3&1/2 years, living together for 2 or so.
I am about to break up with him and move out; but everything is SO hard. It's like all I want to do is sleep and ignore everything, hoping it'll go away.

We've become more like friends than anything else- he used to be so romantic and all over me, and now it's just like we're buddies. Also, the fights, although they aren't as frequent, are awful. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him, and like he blames me for stupid, inconsequential things, for I don't know what reason.

Anyway, I think I finally have the courage to leave. Our lease is up July 1st, and I'm looking for apartments.
My credit isn't the best, so I guess I have to ask my family to help me out to co-sign for an apartment; but I NEED to DO THIS!

I'm afraid to tell my friends or my mom in case I chicken out: but I need some support... I know I am a strong person, but I don't know if I can really do this.

Thanks for any advice from anyone's who's "been there".

Luna

of course you can do it.

why wouldn't think you can't and why are you going around so afraid?

if it's something that should be done, be a big girl and do it. :)
