If you have a whole month to choose about living accomodation don't rush it. I think if I'd had the opportunity I'd have asked my STBXW to move out, but as it was her home prior to our relationship I didn't feel I could do that.
The upside is that I'm living in a much nicer bit of town, in a lovely house with great garden that is much closer to all my friends, and has an amazing set of pubs/restaurants/bars and shops that I never knew existed. So I've come up trumps anyway.
Is there anywhere you'd like to live instead of your current or previously shared neighbourhood?
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
