There is no doubt you have the right to live where you feel most comfortable. We don't always know how things will work out until we try them. So, you've given it a try and it's not for you. No worries about that.

Could it be that your roommate was caught by surprise and is now having to scramble to start the process all over again of finding another roommate..so that's why she's a bit miffed about this? I think if you give her a bit of time, she will settle down and by explaining that you are having trouble with not living alone.....she will be ok with it all. (and if not......to heck with her...stuff happens ya know?)

Did you and her have a verbal agreement to time, expenses and rent? If there was a meeting of the minds on a verbal agreement, that may be strong enough to hold up in court. If there was no implied time of rent, then you are able to leave whenever. Also, were you paying weekly or monthly? If weekly, you only need to give a weeks notice, monthly, a months notice and so forth. (at least I'm pretty sure that's how it goes)

I'm sorry this didn't work for you, I know you were looking forward to this new experience. I wish you much joy in your new new home
