Roommate From Hell...Help!!

I will make this situation short. In my desperation to leave the furnished room scenario behind, I allowed a former coworker to convince me to share an apartment with him. However, things are not working out. The man has become obsessed with my personal life.

1. I am not gay but I think he is which explains his obsession with me.

2. He is very controlling. Wants me to do what he thinks is best for me.

3. He is driving me crazy with his controlling behavior and not giving me ample space to breathe, to live, to do as I please on my days off.

4. He is 46 years old and never been married. He has no kids. I will call him xyz to conceal his identity.

5. Honestly, xyz's brother kicked him out of the house a few months back, which is the reason xyz begged me to share an apartment with him. He needed a place to live. I never found out why xyz got kicked out by his own brother.

We both signed a lease on 8/7/21. The lease is for one year. There are slightly over 9 months left on the lease. In my current situation 9 months is like 9 years. Honestly, this guy is impossible to deal with.

Questions:

1. Can I break the lease, a legal document, without suffering any legal ramifications?

So, xyz is upset that I share a love for math and learning. He gets upset when I weekly visit my mother. He doesn't want me to enjoy my days off. He has two jobs. I have only one job. I sense a little envy on his part. Help!!

2. What can I do to get out of this situation before the lease expires?

Thanks
