Hi, this is kind of confusing but here it goes. My boyfriend and I signed a year lease approximately 3 months ago. At that time, I was not completely comfortable with our relationship but did not have a lot of other moving options so we made a verbal agreement that if our relationship was not working, I could leave and he would remain there and continue paying full rent.

Well, in December I had to walk home from work because he never picked me up as he promised, on my way home I was hit by a car and have been unable to work a full 8 hour day since then.

I recently found out that on that night, he was cheating on me with a friend. Now I have told him I am breaking up with him and would like to move in with my mom until i can work full time and save some money, but he is now saying that I have to continue paying for my half of the rent until next December when our lease is up.

My problem is I do not want to stay there and because of my injury which I now consider atleast partly his fault I am unable to work or make enough money to really support myself on my own and continue paying him rent...

I would like to just leave but I dont know what to do. I told him before I leave I will give him a check for my part of the next months rent but he still wont accept that.
