Wouldn't surprise me, to be honest.
He went because we had a spat and is probably twanging a sitar about now...

Was this caused by the strains of living together or some other reason?

Bit of both really.
He wants to move out at some point soon if he gets a better paying job, and because I'm a sap I'm going to miss him (the job he wants will involve moving to Dover), and don't want to get another flatmate if I can't keep the lease on my own.

Is the lease in his name or yours?
From what I've heard, things are inconsistent to say the least when one flatmate leaves a shared flat. Also, would you be able to afford the flat on your own?

The lease is in both our names, but the rent goes out of his account because I hadn't started work yet.
I think it'll be entirely up to the discretion of the letting agent/landlord, and that worries me. Money would be tight for a while, but I could afford it, once I get fully out of my overdraft, and in a couple of months I may have someone to take the lease over from him.

Also, I should have mentioned I know where he is: he went to his mum's; it's just a matter of when he's coming back.

If things don't work out for you, at least you could move into a smaller (read: cheaper) flat. My studio flat is ... shall we say ... minimalistic - but it serves it's needs (and besides it's a lot easier to clean).
