I think - clean up your side of the street. These types of high-stake games are not helping and are part of your relationship dysfunction. When I am lying I think everyone else is too.
That is true, which is not normal for me. I did clearly tell him that I did not sign a lease however.
I agree this is not really functional. I feel so backed into a corner though. Like what else do I need to do so that he knows this is friggen serious?! I guess that answer is move out. I was grasping at straws, which included trying to indicate that I was further along in the apartment process than I was by a few steps.
