He said he's seeing someone new

Well it does help to know that I'm not the only one feeling these things, phoenix, so thanks for stopping by.

Got a call from the real estate agent just before about signing a new lease without H on it. Turns out H emailed them in December, but the real estate guy thought he'd leave it for a little while before trying to get anything made official, because sometimes situations like this one change. But he checked again with H just recently to see if he still wanted off the next lease, and he said yes, he still does.

Real estate agent asked if I'd discussed it with H, and I said that H has wanted pretty much nothing to do with me since he moved out, so we weren't exactly speaking. He sounded rather sympathetic, and said he was sorry to hear about it all. I said I'd try to contact H because we need to decide if we're gonna get our bond money back, or if he's happy to leave the amount there, and I'll just pay any increase.

The rent is guaranteed to go up. My parents are already basically paying my rent for me right now. We've got a really sweet deal on the rent at this place. Rents are going up everywhere by crazy amounts. A place across the road just went up for rent a couple of weeks ago, and I went and looked it up at it's over $300 per week. My current rent is $230. I reckon I'll be looking at at least $300 a week, which I really can't afford, but I really don't want to leave this place.

Man, this all sucks. I'd been doing pretty well the past few days and now this has just brought me down.
