Since the break up, I have been trying to pull myself out of the pit of depression by hanging out with my friends and working on my self esteem. I've thrown myself into my writing (because it's the only thing I KNOW I can do well, if that makes sense) and have been trying to be more positive. (Which is kind of hard when I have a manager that I can never please no matter how hard I try to do my job well. But I'm look for another job.) I also joined a dating website to meet new people and decided to go back to uni to do a creative writing masters. (I think this will do me good, as I would be required to attend and perform at open mic evenings.)

 

When I told my ex that I had applied to do a masters, he asked me if I wanted to move in with him since he lives closer to the city where the university I might be attending is. I said no (obviously) because it would be too weird and I was planning to commute so I wouldn't have to worry about bills. He still keeps asking me to live with him, even if I don't get on my course because he wants us to hang out more. But I don't really understand why he wants to live with me if he only sees me as a friend. He has plenty of friends who he could live with and he has an online 'relationship' with an American girl he's never met. (I use the word relationship. He's just using her.)

 

We were friends before we got together, but I don't understand why someone would want to live with their ex if they weren't already living together when they broke up. I do miss him, and a part of me does still have feelings for him. But it's clear that he doesn't so I'm trying to move on. I just don't understand what he wants from me.

Hmmm, no way would I have a shared living arrangement with an ex. Forget the awkward feelings/sexual issues.... what about when they start bringing somebody home!? or I want to bring somebody home!?

 

Yeah, no way. Not happening.

Congratulations on going back to school to pursue your master's degree, that's awesome!! :)

 

As for your ex...what the hell?? Who would want to live with their ex? This just boggles my mind. I wouldn't want to pass either of my exes on the street, let alone live with them. Talk about awkward.

Look its simple, if you want him back tell him that you want to talk whit him before seeing if you can live together again. Explain him the situation is unable to coop whit you guys living together apart atm. If you dont want him back then tell him that it just isn't that of a good idea.
