Background: I'm going to be the one to move out, def by the end of October. At first I resisted the idea (all the standard "you want out, not me" reasons), but then I realized I can't afford rent plus utilities and maintenance alone. Neither can he, but that's another story for another day. I told him I'd move, but he had to give me the $1k I put of my own money into the security deposit when we moved in 8 years ago.

We settled on him paying off my new laptop (bought on Dell credit, in his name) which is less money, but comparably priced.

He texted me today to ask for the password for the account to pay this month.

My stomach sank because this may be a sign he's not changing his mind about the R.

I told him that I'd tried to log in from work, and the account was locked out because they didn't recognize the IP address. If he called them they'd unlock it and he could get the account info.

He texted back a thanks and I said: "Sure thing! :)" even though I wanted to cry.

I was out at the mall after dinner with a good, supportive friend, and kept my PMA up despite the crappy texts.

This is not over yet and there is still hope. I need to relax.
