Need End of Relationship Advice. She wants to stay on as my roommate.
broke off the loveless, unfulfilling relationship. She moved into my home last year. Since rental is expensive right now and she has utterly refused and rejected all notions of fiscal responsibility
(yes, this was a contributor to our demise – play and party were always prioritized over any kind of “adulting” – we’re in our late 40s, early 50s, btw)
she’s living paycheck to paycheck and has no savings (but lots of upcoming cruises, airline reservations, and concert tickets on order!) and has just asked if she could move into the spare room and stay on as my roommate.
Even though it certainly would be nice to have continued financial assistance, and even though I don’t want her to suffer, my gut is screaming, “NO! She needs to leave as soon as reasonably possible because this will get messy and a clean break is best.”
I’d really appreciate the diversity of perspective because I am vacillating heavily on this. Thanks in advance, reddit!

Get her out of there! You can’t go No Contact if she’s still living in your house! She basically wants all the benefits of being in a relationship, without being in a relationship.
