I have posted before about this situation, but i recently broke up with my unemployed boyfriend that was from Wyoming. We have lived together for 6 months in my apartment. Things got really tense between us since we were fighting like every other day and avoiding speaking to each other a lot. I got out of the apartment and moved in with my Mom even after I already paid the rent for this month and my ex boyfriend didn't contribute a cent to the rent or utilities for the month. The problem is he hasn't moved out yet. He keeps saying that he's going to leave on a specific date, but then i go back to the apartment with my Mom and find out that he lied. He gives an excuse everytime to delay leaving more. It has only been 1 week since i asked him to move out, but i'm really starting to get worried cuz I am missing my apartment and want to get back there. I know i can't live with him though cuz I feel unsafe around him. He did push me down on the ground last time we had a fight. I am starting to believe that he's just trying to manipulate me, take advantage of me, or get me back for breaking up with him.

I am pretty sure that legally there's no way i can get him to leave right now. I haven't told the landlord about this yet, but i really don't want to get her into it. He is not on the lease, but i know even if the landlord evicts him that he'll still be allowed to stay for another 30 days. We never got anything with him agreeing to leave in writing either. I just want him to leave now and not keep putting this off.

Last time i went to the apartment, i took the modem so at least he can't go on the Internet. He said that he'd leave today so if he doesn't leave, I am now thinking of shutting off the electricity. Even then, I don't know if that'd impact him enough to make him leave. I really don't want to battle it out like this, but i see no choice if he refuses to leave. Another idea i have is to call his parents and have a talk with them about the situation. He told me they were the ones that were going to buy him a plane ticket to go home, but his dad has been in the hospital with an infection. If that's the case, then i don't see how he'll ever pick him up from the airport cuz his dad will have a long recovery time. He won't be able to drive to go and get him for awhile and my ex doesn't drive. In that case, I don't see why they can't arrange for somebody else to go and pick him up at the airport.

If you have any ideas on how i could get him to go back home, i'd really appreciate it.
