Any chance to make it work? I need advice

H always complained that I never went out, and I do admit to being an introvert who works around people all day, so I usually would prefer to be home. He hates to be at home, and it just so happened that I was out with friends both times he contacted me in the last few week. So I was also showing him that I am making an effort to be more sociable.

I'm only working on the habits that are now driving me crazy. Being stubborn and nagging aren't attractive qualities! And I was never good at verbally expressing my appreciation for everything he did, so I do try to thank him for every little thing now, in the hopes that it'll boost his mood.

My lease isn't up until the end of Sept. and I checked yesterday to find out that the early termination fee would be the same as the rent for the next four months, so I'm just hoping the guys will keep it together and stay there that long. Or we'll get a miracle and someone will offer to pay at least what we owe on it. They'd be getting a great deal.

If nothing broke or needed repairs, it might be possible for me to rent the two bedrooms/bath upstairs and cover the mortgage and utilities. I just hate the thought of living with a stranger, although the three roommates I've had in the past were great. I don't want to be a landlord, but I guess I could if it came down to it.

I knew he'd been depressed once, in high school, but I've never had to deal with anything like that in my own life, so I never expected it to resurface. I'm so afraid that I'm going to do or say the wrong thing and make him feel worse. I'm used to having some control over a situation and this terrifies me.
