Saluki, you didn't say that he was unemployed as well, so he can find a place to live. He's not going to leave when you go to grad school or any other time, until you force the issue. If he's unemployed as well, you sure DO need to be done. He can live at the Salvation Army. They'll even give him a job! I know it's hard for YOU to be less than kind, but he doesn't seem to have any problem with it. Congratulations for being emotionally done. When you go to grad school, will YOU be leaving? If so, move into the dorm or someplace where he is physically not allowed to come. billieJ
