Parrotlet Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) My ex-boyfriend and broke up. We live together, and following the break up he offered to leave the house to stay with his parents while I found alternative accommodations. I don't have any family in the area, and need to be in the house to pack up my belongings. Well he's came back. And now he won't leave. We were friends before we started dating and we fell back into the friendship pattern. We've been chatting, and it has been relatively pleasant given that we just broke up. Its better than the strained silence that existed before. However, I have very conflicted emotions. On the one hand, I am happy and relieved to move on. On the other hand, I am really sad that we couldn't make it work. I vacillate between being elated and bursting into tears hourly. He is being a real douche about it. Whenever he notices I am crying, he acts like I am crazy for being upset about our relationship falling apart. This makes me feel even worse like he didn't care about me or our relationship. (Also he is keeping the apartment, so he doesn't need to deal with the stress of finding housing, hiring movers, packing, etc.) Of course I am upset, I have everything stressful in the world happening in my life right now. He will not leave the apartment, even though I have asked him to repeatedly. He says his parents are annoying. I really can't see how they could be more annoying than living with your hysterical ex girlfriend. Also, the break up was extremely mutual. We agreed that breaking up would be best for both of us. Why is he acting like this? I will be out in a week. In the mean time it is so confusing to be in this situation, and he is making it so much harder. Why won't he just leave or at least stop making me feel like crap for being upset? Edited October 18, 2015 by Parrotlet Link to post Share on other sites
sandylee1 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The best thing is to go out for a walk when you get upset or go in another room and don't let him see you crying. Find a new place very quickly and put all this behind you as you can't make him leave. Link to post Share on other sites
