It's fine. Maybe you should look at some guides online on how to get villagers out?! A trick that worked for me when I was trying to get a particular villager out was to talk to all the villagers everyday, including the one I was trying to get out. Your first instinct is to stop talking to the villager you want out, but that actually can make it worse. And if Erik asks to move out, you say yes and he decides to stay, don't save. Just reload the game, and if Erik pings again don't answer it. Erik will still move out if you don't answer him/his ping. Once a villager is on the "asking to move out" stage, it doesn't matter, that said villager is one foot out the door already. Just mentioning it in case you didn't already know.
Don't sweat it, and don't get discouraged. Some villagers can be quite hard to get out, but they proved easier once I started doing the above.
Good luck~
