I wanna move out

LegacyUser

I started a new job in a new city so myself and another guy from work decided to get a house together. We got on and all that but he started to annoy me a lot as I see him pretty much 24/7.

For the last few weeks I have been trying to distance myself from him but the harder I try the harder he tries to be closer. Our lease is up soon and I want to tell him that I want to move out and live with strangers as living with him is pretty hard and that not just seeing him 24/7.

The only problem is I dont want to end on bad terms as we work together and I dont mind him that much its just seeing him all the time is killing me.

How should I break it to him?

You could just say you want to live with 'more' people (i.e. house that's not just 2 people) or meet new people or something like that. Just give enough notice so that he can find a new place.

Are you a guy or a girl? i.e. is this a case of romantic attraction on his part? That'll make it hard. Otherwise, it should be fine. Just make sure to stay friendly with him after the move - i.e. go out for drinks semi-regularly, etc. and you should stay on good terms.

How soon Is the lease up?

Explain as you did here - it makes sense but don't leave it til the last minute and leave him stuck as that would be unfair and is likely to really p him
Off.

Ha no we are both straight guys.

Lease is up in just over two months so I was thinking of telling him in a months time. Would that be enough time?

No tell him now to give him a good chance to find a place he likes.

Yeah, you can drop hints now. Just casually mention that you're thinking of getting a different place when the lease is up.

I'd say as long as you remain friendly with him and invite him to do things, it'll be fine.
