My partner and I just broke up. He's still living under the roof until he finds a new house and its just so hard.
I stay mostly in the room until he's at work or I'm going to work because it hurts too much to see him. I'm crying all day and night. I've had to run to the toilet at work because I just get too overwhelmed.
On top of all the pain, there is the stress of living on my own. With the rent paid each fortnight, I'm left with $300 for all bills, food, fuel etc. As everyone is aware, there is a housing shortage so I don't know how I'm going to leave this house for a cheaper one because there aren't any.
Stupidly, we also racked up loans and credit cards - all in my name.
I'm just tired, emotionally and physically drained from trying to keep my head above water and I don't know how others do it.

Kick him right the fk out. He can go sleep on someone else's couch - not your problem.
Kick him out asap and get a boarder, where you can charge half of the rent.
You can't just 'kick someone out' . You legally need to give them notice. Look up the laws in your State as it's different everywhere. Then issue him an eviction notice.
Yes you can
Yeh, good luck when they take you to court for doing it tho and they win. Because they will .
You will find it easy to rent out that other room and have someone pay half. However if he does not leave soon. I think you need to spend some time out of the house e.g. catch up with friends, go to the park or library, or go to a Cafe with a good book.
Apply for one personal loan to consolidate all your debt into one repayment with lower interest rates. If you extend it out over 5 years then the repayments will be lower. You may have to shop around for a loan provider. If things get really difficult there are debt consolidation specialists but be careful as some of them charge higher interest rates.
All this hurt will pass but remember he lost you too. Value yourself enough to realise that anyone that does not see your worth is not right for you x
