Are you both on a lease? Both names?

If you just leave he’d not be able to pay it for it alone right? Too expensive? Unless he finds a roommate but that takes a minute. Yeah you almost have to wait for end of a lease
Oh I see.... OK. Of course in my own mind, I immediately thought he was thinking of divorce.

Both our names are on the lease, yes. I am financially responsible for my portion of the rent, OR I must find a roommate to take over my lease. I've done that once before.

And yes, my husband cannot cover the full rent by himself. A roommate will be necessary in order for him to remain living here. I know he won't like that, but if (hypothetically) I move out by Feb or March of next year, the lease renews in June '21 again and he could decide to move out then, if he wanted to. That's only a few months with a new roommate.

Alternatively, I could (barely) just afford to live in our current apartment alone, and HE could move out. But he won't have $6000 to move out, and I am able to save the money, so I think it makes more sense that I plan on moving out. Plus, I think I'd rather start over in a new apartment for myself, and not have any memories of our current place lingering around.
