Sorry to make this so long, but here goes..

 

In late November I broke up with my boyfriend of six years. Due to financial reasons and total fear of the thought of living with a stranger, I am still unfortunately living with him. He refuses to move out of course. In December, I met someone else, and thought I was completely done with my ex, so I decided to start casually seeing this person. Everything was fine until I noticed my ex talking to some girl on Facebook. I was infuriated with him about it, and freaked out wit jealousy. I never told him about the other guy, nor gave any reason for him to think I was seeing anyone else either, to spare his feelings.

 

I thought I was over him and no feelings, but the minute I saw him talking to someone else, I hated it. So naturally, I stopped seeing the other guy, because it was unfair to him to still have feelings for my ex and try to start something with him.

 

My question is, do I still have feelings for him or is it just my ego being bruised? I'm hopelessly confused and need some advice from someone in a similar position or who has been before!

The problem is that you are still living with your ex and therefore you have maintained your emotional ties to him. You probably see him nearly every day and are surrounded by memories of your shared life together.

 

Your recent experience demonstrates that you cannot move on until you move out.
