A reader wonders how to leave his girlfriend without losing his home

Every week a Guardian cash reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question

I’ve been living with my girlfriend for two years in a one-bed flat. She’s still in love with me, but I no longer fancy her. The mortgage is in my name, but I can’t afford it without her £350 a month. If I finish it, I’ll be left with a flat I can’t afford and can’t sell. Is there a way out of this living hell?

What are your thoughts?
