Ask Skip if you can rent a room in his house. Sounds like you got screwed for $2750-$5500, unless you tell her and she buy into, "Hey, we made the decision to move here, together, but I'll help you with the rent until the lease is up. But you have to understand that my help can only go so far, if you expect me to find a place of my own."
If you have a string of cancelled checks for $100-$200, that won't hurt your credit rating as much as it hurts to end this relationship. You can't study and work with a broken head that matches your broken heart.
