I feel really stuck in a house share I hate…

I decided last year to give up my job and train as a teacher. It wasn’t quite giving up as I was due to be made redundant so no loss really. Teacher training was terrible but I kept on until it made me ill and I had to drop out. I have been given the option of a resit placement of 6 weeks but I don’t want to teach it was too stressful. All I want to do now is just get a job and move out of the city I moved to for the training. I moved in with a woman who is the live in landlady and thinking I would be out of there by August and in a teaching job. As it happens I have no job as I didn’t qualify/finish and am jobless. I am applying for jobs and hoping to get one so I can leave this city. I hate living in this house share as the women has moved in her finance and I have to live here with the two of them taking over the house. I hate it, I signed up for a share with one other not 2 others.

I would move in with my parents but it isn’t really an option, my dad gets really cross and loses his temper very easily so living at home is extremely stressful. I just feel so stuck. I would look for another house-share but can’t when I don’t have a job.

I sometimes think I can’t cope with living here, I know it could be worse but I hate it. I especially hate weekends as they don’t go out and I can’t afford to go out so the three of us have to spend time in a tiny terrace house.

I know others have much worse problems and feel bad moaning but it is horrible to feel so trapped. I hate living in shared houses and have for 10 years, I’m sick of it but have never earnt enough to get a mortgage.

don’t really know what you can do but I will say i’ve been in the same place so I feel for you. I moved in with a few roommates into a basment apartment with this college classmate. her parents own the house, we rented the basement, and she turned into a total **** rag and had people over EVERY night and acted like we were assholes for asking for a lil privacy.

best tip - keep the “landlord/tenant” relationship very impersonal. never move into a place that one person owns and want to rent a room or something like that. it’s CRAP. rent from an outside party with friends as roommates to help pay rent. never mix the two.
