Oh Tina, this doesn't sound good. I reccommend calling in sick to work one day this week, moving out all of your stuff into anyone's apartment who will have you, and dealing with the rent/lease stuff later. You probably won't have any luck getting taken off the lease -- they won't just absolve you of your obligation to pay rent and switch the entire obligation to your boyfriend. But even if you have to go into some debt to deal with this, you should. It's time to move out, now. I know you have the resolve to do it, so just commit to putting yourself first and get out.
Best of luck,
Panda

LEAVE HIM!
For you.
Your children.
Your soul.
I have been abused. Verbally, emotionally, sexually.
It is NOT YOUR FAULT...HE is NOT your responsibility.
YOU are your responsibility.
I broke up with the last abusive guy I dated on the phone (before I met hubby). I called him and ended it. Religiously I never lived with this guy...but it HURT! I thought I might marry him one day...
This guy is NOT FOR YOU! And if you can't leave him for yourself...
Leave him for me.
It hurts me so much to know you are hurting.
You deserve a guy like my husband! He cooks when I can't. He BIKES to the store to get my meds (he has a vision prob and can't drive by himself...so when I can't even get out of bed...he goes WITHOUT me on his bike...even 45 mins there and back when we lived in NY). He is VERY supportive of me having a women's group in our home (I can't cause I'm sick atm...but I was supposed to and he encouraged it).
My husband may not buy me flowers or be a romatic-a-holic...but he LOVES me...ALL of me. the upset tummy me, the fibroed-out me, the crying me, the smiling me, the can't-get-out-of-bed me, the itchy me (rashes), etc.
YOU DESERVE SOMEONE LIKE THIS! and he IS out there...waiting for you to break up with the guy you're with now.
I am NOT one to be blunt...but I am deeply hurt by your post. I can relate to well to what you are going through.
NO ONE should go through this! Especially not YOU! *hugs*
the fact that you're afraid he won't let you leave is SCARY! A guy did that me to before...he's the one I broke up with on the phone. GET OUT OF THERE...you don't need this abuse!
He's a person. He doesn't have power over you. And don't give to him!
If you want to leave...leave.
E-mail me any time...I'm here for you!
I'm sorry you're going through this...but you're not alone.
Sara, take care of yourself! And keep positive...you're very strong! You CAN do this!
With love, prayers, strength, hugs, and an outreached hand,
Ruchie

Get out all at once.
Leave behind any guilt.
You have made your decision. (It is a good, sound decision)
What about giving the landlord your half-of-the-months rent and letting her/him know that you would like to be removed from the lease. (I agree you should borrow if you must)
I believe that you can leave without dealing with the financial part of the problem till cooler heads prevail (meaning his)!
So sorry you have this extra money complication. Good Luck!

Heh. My love life since That Jerk (tm) has been a soap opera unto itself.  I met Adam within a couple months, but I was actually already dating someone else... Adam and I didn't get together till 5 or 6 years later, but at that point, I'd been completely single - not even dating casually, really - for about a year. That was the longest I had ever been single my entire life, since I was a teenager, and it was weird at first, but I got to really enjoy it. Not that I feel like I'm chained down or anything like that, but being completely free to do whatever you want, whenever you want, is awesome.
Adam and I met online. Back in 1997, when you could still meet people via chat programs like ICQ (these days, if new people message you, 9 times out of 10 it's porn spam, LOL!). I won't get into the whole story, but thanks to my stupidity - basically - we lost touch and didn't speak for 4 years. I tracked him down last summer (2003), and within 2 months, I moved from NY to Maine to live with him. And I've never been happier!
I hope it works out with your coworker. I think it would be a perfect transition for you - I know that when I first left my ex, I went back home (I really didn't have anywhere else to go), and I was grateful for that because it meant I wasn't alone - both because he went fruity on me, and also because I had never lived alone before. Even if it's not a long-term solution, it would be great for you to be living with someone; it'll cut any potential lonelies.
Try not to worry too much about what he'll do when you leave... or, at least, don't worry about it so much that it affects your decision. It will definitely be weird at first, but you'll be fine. 
Anyway, glad I can be here for ya! I'm always around if you need to talk - even if I'm not hanging around the boards (I've been kind of busy lately), I'm always reachable by email.

No, we split the rent 50-50.
But I am on the lease and just realized that I am the one who gave the landlord 12 post-dated cheques coming from MY ACCOUNT! So if I leave he won't care as the FULL AMOUNT will still be coming from my acount everything month. Not good.

Ruchie,
You're so sweet. I know all that you're saying is so true.
Your husband sounds like an angel. I'm so happy that he's always there for you. You deserve the best!
Thanks so much.

What a cute story about how you guys met. Maybe it was fate!
As I mentionned in a nother reply in this thread, I just realized that the landlord has post-dated cheques for the entire year all in my name from my account. that's obviously a problem. I'm starting to think that I'll ahve to break up with him in a civil way and we'll both have to go down to the office together and sort the payments out.
He's not dangerous at all. He works with disabled kids and really does have a sweet heart inside. But I am realizing that for some reason he takes out all his bad stuff on me. he would never ever hit me. And when I say that I am worried he wouldn't let me leave, it just menas that he's cry and make me feel so bad for hurting him that I wouldn't be able to go.
I'm actually getting tired of talking about all this! Maybe I should never have posted it. I know you know because you've been through it but some people just tell me to leave and don't realize that I've put 10 years into this relationship.
Anyhow, thanks Casey! Thanks for the email offer too.

But I think I need to get my head away from this for a while as it's obvioulsy super stessful for me to handle. I need a breather so I think I'll be off the board for a couple of days. I don't want you guys to worry when I don't answer posts for a little while. I'll be back, I'm just overwhelmed...
Thanks for all your support guys, I appreciate it more than you know. You all are as sweet as can be!
