It seems to me she is playing games with you @Powderfinger She is the one that said she would leave and I understand it can be difficult to find alternative accommodation but you two being in the same house is causing you so much grief and heartache. You have already put yourself out by sleeping in the shed and avoiding her as much as possible while she still has the run of the house. Your landlord is aware of the situation so is there anyway they can intervene here to help you out? You certainly cannot go on 'living' like this because it is destroying you a little more each day. Maybe also you need to ask yourself if this house is worth it or if it is best for you to look for somewhere else yourself. I do know you feel really connected to this house but I also am concerned that ongoing those memories will be there for you if/when she is gone.
