I am sure the contract doesn't stipulate that TWO people must live in the flat the whole time. Negotiate an out with your ex - pay him a decent amount towards what you'd owe for the rest of the contract and move out. Or pay the whole lot you'd owe.
Also, I don't believe that the contract doesn't have an exit clause of some description. Sure, you may both have to give adequate notice or pay a penalty, but I'm still not buying that you're trapped there.
If it's bad enough, you'll find a way. Seek legal advice if your ex won't negotiate.
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
