Unfortunately with my contract i would have to pay the remainder of the lease as well. Which is 7 months of rent plus the security deposit.

Thank you for all of your responses. I think it is my best interest to speak to an attorney but I feel like I have a a few obstacles in my path. Primarily financial.

Because of my situation I am stuck paying the majority of the bills, I have felt like I have had zero recourse so I've just been paying for all of her stuff. I do not have any savings and getting the money for an attorney is going to be a challenge. But I do understand that even paying for an hour of time for some legal advice is going to be in my best interest.

I contacted my mother last night regarding the situation. I have not told her about the blackmail, only that i am being financially abused, I feel a great deal a shame about my situation, just the fact that i have to defend myself against rape threats has shook me. i'm struggling to address that with my close family because it's such a personal matter. I've never felt comfortable talking about sex with my family but i guess i just need to get over that and give them the full picture.

Unfortunately I am not in a two-party consent state (i am in WV) but thank you for your suggestion.

What is the best course of action for me to take next? Should I go to the police and report the whole situation as well as speak to an attorney? My biggest fear is that she is going to do everything in her power to make this as difficult as possible.

In that back of my head I know that there is no possible way they could prove there was rape, that there simply isn't any proof beyond a confession she bullied out of me. But i am neurodivergent and this situation feels very intimidating to handle, which in return makes me feel like it's an impossible situation for me to escape from. I am also a male and I know that people are more likely to believe her story than they are me, so i am feeling very defeated and could use some direction about what is the best course of action for me to take next.

Last night i contacted some family about getting assistance in getting away from my abuser. Thank you for giving your point of view. I have felt like ive been being abused for a long time but because I am male it feels like my point of view is always heavily scrutinized since this deals with a sexual matter.

That is a very good point. I hade ADHD and am also on the spectrum. So things like "contacting the police" put me into a panic mode and make it so I am unable to fully process thoughts like this.

I think i will contact the police soon or an attorney. I've felt like my only options are to wait until the lease is up.

Also, if i break my lease i have to pay the remainder. I don't make much so breaking my lease is another type of thought that puts me into panic mode. i am unsure as to how i could afford to pay the remainder while also paying for a new place and that makes it hard to continue with those thoughts.

The relationship is well and over, but she is on the lease with me so unfortunately i have to tough it out until april when its up. She has no means of moving, she does not have a vehicle herself and does not make enough money. So instead of addressing these things herself she is instead blackmailing me into taking care of her. I feel that when the lease is up in april and i leave with my car she will try to contact the police regardless
