Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

I've been visiting Sandi's thread and got some interesting advice from her. My lease is up at the end of January. I asked her if I should just re-up the lease or ask W what's next for us.

She said asking would look weak. She said, if finances continue to be a concern, that I should tell W that financially this is too much and I'll be moving home at the end of January.

I've been going the "make her miss me by my absence" route. For those of you following my sitch, what do you think? Is just saying I'll be moving home and if you want a D you can move out the way to go?

It'd be a big deal. W has set up a zoo other there. Cat, dog, three hamsters. I'm not much of a pet person, but I'd have to keep them because of the kids.
