I'm so tired of searching for an apartment. I wish something affordable, reasonably sized and with the amenities I desire would just fall in to my lap. I have been searching various websites for apartments, mostly Craigslist. I've even widened my price range and still nothing promising. I'm willing to live on Ramen noodles for the next year if it means having to pay a little more for a place, but I can only afford so much.

What I truly wish for is for Jacob to have some kind of epiphany and decide that us even getting a two bedroom would be alright when it comes to having space. But he wants to be completely alone. And having a stranger as a roommate, apparently, still counts as being alone. Basically he wants to be able to come home and be ignored. I wouldn't do that. I would still ask him how his day went.

I want to talk him in to it, but if I were to even bring it up, it would only push him to want his own place more. If he sees that I'm trying to be independent of him, then maybe he'll see that I can live with him and be my own person. It'll take more than a month to prove, though. Which is all the time we have left on our lease before moving out.

So at this point, I really just want a good deal to just come to me. I'm so sick of looking. See, I've gotten some promising leads, but then something comes up that kills it. For example, I found a decent sized studio {500sqft} for a little over $500/month in an area that's not far from where I want to live. The deal breaker? There is no washer/dryer in the unit, nor is there a laundry facility on site. "There's a laundromat about 10 minutes from the apartment." And that's a 10 minute drive, not walk. Regardless, I'm not going to leave my complex to do my laundry. I would rather not leave my apartment at all to do my laundry, but I'm willing to sacrifice because the odds of getting a cheap apartment with a washer/dryer in unit are really, really slim.

If you ever live with someone, make sure you're both in it for the long run. This whole process is bullshit.

Look for a room instead of an apartment?

Nobody is looking for a roommate, either?
