UPDATE: AITA for wanting to leave our apartment before the contract allows it?

Here’s the original post for context:

I talked to my boyfriend about moving while on vacation in Spain. I thought being away from home would make it easier to have a calm conversation, but he felt like I was ruining the holiday, shouted at me, and was very angry. He reminded me that when we moved in together, I “promised” to stay the full two years.

For context: I agreed under pressure, I’d been living with my mom, she was moving away, and I would’ve been three hours away if I hadn’t moved in with him. I also stayed temporarily with his parents, which was tough. At the time we’d been looking for half a year, had no jobs, and money was tight. I didn’t know our financial situation would improve later.

Now I have a steady job and can afford better. He insisted I must keep that old promise, blamed me for everything, and spent two days sulking and sending me harsh messages. I was so worn down I told my stepsister I might break up with him if he didn’t get therapy. He read that message and finally realized he needed help.

After that, he sincerely apologized. We’ve agreed to stay in our first apartment together until we reach one year this November, then start looking for a new place. Since the holiday, he’s been calmer and more reflective. We’re not fully “fixed” yet, but I feel hopeful again and won’t give up.

Thanks for reading, just wanted to share the update.
