Should i want to leave my gf because she is a complete slob?

I am in desperate need of help. I moved in with this woman just because I had nowhere to live. I still have no other options and I want out desperately. She is the grossest person I have ever seen. She even didnt bathe once during her period one time and went a few days even after it was over. There is trash all over the place, and she refuses to clean up anything or pick up after herself. I have tried discussing this with her a few times but all she does is point at my stuff and say something like "look, you have a pair of socks laying over there. So I don't want to hear about it." She is constantly trying to point blame on everyone else except herself, and takes no responsibility for her actions. She is so damn lazy that instead of washing dishes or her clothes, she will actually go out and buy a new set of plates, silverware, etc., and the same for her wardrobe. The place smells really bad all the time from the mountains of dirty clothes, dishes, rotted food next to her side of the bed, and her own body odor. She has said countless times that she does not smell anything, and doesn't see anything wrong with the way she lives. I have had all I can take, but I have nowhere to go. No friends, relatives, nothing. She blatantly told me she is not going to change or stop living this way, so now I want out. I can't even go to a shelter because I have a criminal background. In my state if you have a record of any kind, you are immediately banned from homeless shelters and banned from any kind of subsidised housing.What should I do?

    That sounds like hell, but I can't recommend leaving with winter on the way. Otherwise stay for a few more months and keep searching for a better place, then take off.

    "I can't even go to a shelter because I have a criminal background. In my state if you have a record of any kind, you are immediately banned from homeless shelters and banned from any kind of subsidised housing"

    That's bullshit. You are either lying or ill-informed.

    You say you moved in with her out of desperation, so make the best of the situation until you can better yourself. Why don't you clean it up? If it's a home vs living on the streets or a shekter, then put in the work and just clean up. Or if she won't let you then keep living there and save your money to get a different place.

    She sounds gross. I think you should find someone cleaner.

    It definitely makes sense to want to leave, but your best option seems to be just trying to make your living situation a little nicer for the time being--you could try to start washing the dishes or do some laundry, even though you shouldn't have to do her cleaning up for her. You could also look for potential roommates through the Internet, though.

    You should just stay with her until you figure out a better place to stay. It's better than living homeless, especially during the winter.

    If you can find somewhere else to live, get out. I dated a woman like this. Every time was at her apartment/half-duplex, it was filthy, with dirty kitchen, disgusting bathroom, bedroom, and living room that a bulldozer couldn't help. Tried telling her nicely and in fun, hey, clean this shithole, but she never listened. I even offered to help, said we'd take a weekend and do a cleaning blitz. No-go.

    One night, I was talking to the (rather hot) woman next door, bringing her a UPS envelope that had been left at the wrong door, and went inside to see her half of the duplex. So clean, well-done, updated. Very nice. Woman I was dating freaked out at me, saying I was fucking her next door neighbor, yelling at me, all this crap..That's when I got honest and a bit mean, telling her, I'm not fucking her, BUT..Wouldn't mind, since I wouldn't have concern about roaches crawling on me in bed or seeing mice in the kitchen, like at your place. Clean it the fuck up, you pig.. Whole thing went very bad, but, she had to hear it up front, this place is filthy and I'm done dealing with it, and you.

        Why? Because I got tired of going to her place and knowing I couldn't sit on the toilet to take a dump, or, if we were in bed, the sheets hadn't been changed since last time? Or if I went into her kitchen, chances were a good 50-50 I'd see mouse shit on the floor or countertop? Even a guy can only take so much filth for a woman..I started to think if I got sick, that was the reason..Being at her filthy place.

    No alcohol or drug abuse at all. I am constantly cleaning up and doing dishes, laundry, etc. But the sheer amount of waste and mess she produces on a daily basis is absolutely astonishing. I have to completely dedicate every minute to picking up after her. For example... She gets a glass of juice and drinks it. She immediately wants another glass of juice and gets a completely new glass. Same with bowls of soup. She eats a second or third bowl, she gets a clean bowl. Ive never seen anything like it. Shes completely wasteful in how she lives. She will stand RIGHT NEXT TO THE GARBAGE CAN AND STILL THROW FOOD AND GARBAGE ON THE FLOOR!!!!There is no rhyme or reason for how she lives. It drives me crazy.

    Does she have any drug addiction problem or alcohol abuse?

    It sounds like she could be depressed. Maybe try encouraging her positively, she may think your just complaining and is digging her heels in more,it's not healthy or normal to live like that and get yourself out of the house too, go for a walk, volunteer, anything. Your just stuck in a bad situation at the moment, so ride it out for now, Try to stay positive, good luck.

    Why don't you try & spruce the place up? A little tidying here & there could work miracles. In the mean time save some cash & find a place of your own.

    Come on, having any roof over your head is better than living rough.
