help a baby adult choose her next home

Home & Lifestyle

Problem/Goal: Finding a new home.

I used to live with my partner in QC. We’re both working somewhere in the south pero QC was the midpoint between our workplaces and homes in the province. Unfortunately, he left me 2-3 months ago and I moved out of the unit. Bakit ako ang umalis? He earns more than me and I couldn’t sustain the solo living sa unit na ‘yun.

Issue 1: Right now, I’m living with two roommates in a studio unit. It is stuffy and uncomfortable. Also because hindi ko same level ng ✨housekeeping✨ ang mga kasama ko. Pero keri ako sa rent and utilities. Maluwag pa sa lifestyle ko.

Issue 2: I feel lonely and my mental wellbeing is at its lowest. I guess dahil din sa break up, I feel a bit lost. It was almost a 5 year relationship tapos co-living pa kami for some time. Kaya as a fresh wound, it’s a bit hard to accept na things really have changed.

To cope with those issues, I’ve thought of two possible solutions:

Option 1: move in with my sister (and her family), their apartment is farther than QC to my workplace but still commutable (commutable?!) naman. This addresses the lonely factor more than the roommate factor (siyempre pakikisamahan ko din the family). But I would have someone to talk to at night. Just worrying na I won’t have the independence I used to have, medyo old school din kasi sila and takot ako ma-judge. Haha, will still share sa expenses ofc!

Option 2: start a new condosharing, just one roomie na lang and I would have to screen them kung same ba kami ng ✨housekeeping✨ wants/traits. Maarte na kung maarte, pero mahirap magpahinga kapag makalat ang place. It would cost more, probably mga nasa current rent times 1.25 to 1.5? This addresses the roomie problem, kasi relatively higher chance na makasundo ko ang roomie ko at may independence ako. Magigising strict nga lang ako sa budget ko (wants-wise).

Pwede rin naman option 1 trial then option 2 if hindi talaga magwork. Don’t know kung worth the adjustment ba haha (nabaliw)

pls help a baby-adult out!! pwede rin kayo magbigay ng slap in the face feedback na kailangan kong magtiis if that’s really what I need and my reality!!! Thank you!!!!!
