Thanks for your response. Yes, this stress is pretty bad for my IBS. I think if I was apart from him that I would feel even better IBS-wise as I always feel like I have to walk on eggshells around him.
I wouldn't be able to leave without saying goodbye or anything like that. And 2 weeks isn't enough time for him to find a roommate. The place that I'm looking at tomorrow is for December 1st which is not going to happen. I just want to look anyway.
I am also not doing well financially (paying off new car) and if I live on my own I will have to pay an extra $200+ a month extra in rent for my own place. This fact has deterred me from leaving earlier.
But I have to think of my happiness. I can't help but hope there's some sweet, funny, happy-go-lucky guy out there that will let me cook, have friend's over and be happy. Sigh...
Thanks again, it helps so much to get this all out.
