It's just one of those things man. I'd been with this girl since high school. We were engaged up until this happened, and our finances were intertwined. I could sell the house, but the mortgage is actually cheaper than rent would be for any worth while apartment in the area. Plus, I at least have equity in the property if I hold it long enough.

It's less the financial burden of the mortgage, and more about the fact that I need to learn to work through these finances as a single adult for the first time in my life. It's just a challenge, and I'm planning on getting through it.

If anything, I'm planning on selling some of my luxuries to pay down credit cards.
