Tristan - Strangely enough, again we are in the same boat. She stayed one month in the apt and this last weekend we moved everything out. The landlord (large corporation) does not seem to really be wanting to do any type of early termination. They said they would try to rent it out and then we would be released.
My W is feeling that same type of guilt and everything that goes along with it. I would love to get it behind us. $1k per month for nothing sucks bad.
Let me know how your offer turns out. I may try something similar.

Made it through the WAW, living happily together now. And I am much wiser for it!
