Can you move out before you go to Europe? Or move out a bunch of stuff before hand and finish moving after you get back? That way neither of you are stuck with living there in August.
That's what I would do, even though it SUX.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

I know she feels really bad for all of this, so I'm trying not to fall apart when she tells me this stuff (especially before my coffee).
Please. She should feel bad. What she is doing sucks.

She'll pay half of the cable? I'm sorry, but I'm getting really angry on your behalf. I don't care how nice she is. She's being inconsiderate. Want me to have a little chat with her? ;)

It's what I would try, too. Even though, yes, it blows dead goats.

What is even happening?
I think she's not being fair to you, given that she knows her moving out is behind your moving out, and if you'd known about her plans, you might not have booked the Europe trip. I still think you should stick up for yourself, but can understand your reluctance, so...

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I'm kind of glad you dodn't know this before you decided to go to Europe, because you might have decided not to
I definitely wouldn't have.
It's funny, though. Part of the reason I'm going (Besides OMG Europe) is to kind of blow apart my comfort zone. I figured if I wanted to make all the changes in my life I plan to, I need to be able to get past things that seem new and scary.
Now, it's like I'll have jumped half of those hurdles before I even get on the plane. Does that even make any sense?

You know what, Lilty? This kind of stuff always shakes out. It's a pain, but it will happen. The European trip will be a blast, and then you'll have some months in inbetweenie land, and then you'll find a new place (hopefully in Somerville!).
The year after I got out of college I saved my money to go to Europe. A few months beforehand my group house dissolved and I didn't really have a place to stay. My old roommate put me up for a month before I took my trip. I came back, and another friend put me up for another month while I went apartment hunting. It was fine. This was all in Boston too.

I just called my mom. She said of course I could move home just as soon as I wanted to and there is plenty of family to help me do it.
Damn it. I don't know why I'm taking this so hard. It's one stupid month.

Lilty, did I tell you the story about my move? The full story? I can't remember if I put that in my e-mail or not...I don't want to repeat myself...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
See? It's okay. Think of it this way: what you have in the bank right now is freedom and fluidity and a relative lack of mortgage/child-rearing responsibilities. You're trading on that now to go to Europe. When you come back, you'll build up your account of stability again. It's just go-with-the-flow time. Out of the comfort zone and into the pool!
