Half a year ago, a friend and I were supposed to move out together. We went looking for a place all summer and finally found one towards the end of summer. The day that we were supposed to move in, something came up that left our friendship in limbo. I wasn't really mad but he was for something that I supposedly did that I felt wasn't as bad as he made it out to be. I already signed the rental thingie w/ the landlord so it wasn't like I could back out. So I moved in, without him. He was still living at home.
At first it was rough financially but I've managed to hang in. We've made amends a week after the supposed initial move in date although he never really moved in but I didnt blame him. I found out that I actually feel a lot more comfortable living alone because I'm the kind of guy who wants to come home and be in peace. He's pretty much the opposite. So recently he went through some problems and needed a place to stay. I said sure, no big deal. But then he brought up the thing about moving in with me again. Financially, it would help greatly because right now I'm always tight for money. But on a friendship level, I am not sure if I'm ready or if this is the best idea. He's a really good friend and all but I honestly don't think it's a good idea that we're around each other all the time.
He's in a really tough situation and I know he HAS to move out. I don't want to deny him shelter but I also don't feel like it's in both of our best interest to be living together like we originally planned last summer. I've been delaying giving him an answer because I don't know what is the right thing to say to make him understand without getting him mad or felt betrayed.
