My roommate and I have lived together for 2 years total and have been really close friends for 6+ years. Our living situation has been decent for the most part but I am ready to move in with my boyfriend of 2.5 years. I have discussed this with her frequently since June (4 months ago) and have given her plenty of warning of my intention to leave before our lease is up. Giving her plenty of time to find a new roommate, etc. 

My boyfriend and I found a great place and are set to move in at the end of the year (3 months away). My roommate was quite upset about this and insisted that I would pay the rent for the month after I was to move out, saying that she couldn't pay it on her own. I had mentioned previously that if I moved out suddenly I would pay my portion of the rent for a month or two. She is holding this against me. I think I have given her plenty of notice for her to figure things out. 

The real issue is who is taking my place on the lease, her boyfriend. He's a great guy, but doesn't have a job. My roommate had  asked him to find employment but I have seen no effort on his part to make this happen. Meanwhile my roommate has been paying for a lot of his meals, drinks out etc. He practically lives with us already and makes no monetary contribution at all. I am worried that if this same pattern continues my roommate will be broke in no time. She won't be able to pay rent, and I have a feeling will end up blaming me for moving out. 

I am trying to find the nicest way possible of asking her to ensure her boyfriend gets a job or find someone else to live with her. I don't think it is fair at for me to have to stress about her wanting to pay for rent when I'm not even living there anymore. Any advice of what I should do?
