My boyfriend of 15 months broke up with me last month. I was blindsided by it. I felt things were going well. I moved in with him this past March. We renovated the condo together (his suggestion) in an effort to make it feel like it's "our home" and not "his". We were planning our future and even discussed marriage over the summer.

 

We didn't argue often and we shared common ground with respect to hobbies, interests, values and morals. Very passionate couple; about life and one another. Neither of us have children. His longest relationship was 9 months (prior to me). He's 47 and I'm 41. I was previously married for 7 years, but single and dating for many years before meeting this man.

 

I came home from work one day in September, groceries in hand, to a closed ended discussion with him announcing "it's over, we need to get the ball rolling on you moving out ASAP!" The only eloboration I could procure was him saying "I just can't handle this or you!" I was utterly devestated. My future, my dreams, all shattered in a New York minute.

 

After many painful discussions about me moving out, the outcome is I'm currently looking for a condo to buy, but remain living with him in the interim- combersome/awkward/painful!! He's moved my mattresses into the living room and has bought new mattress for his bedroom.

 

He then suggested (a few weeks back) that we stay friends with benefits. I initially agreed, but came to the conclusion rather quickly that it's too painful for me. Since putting an end to that idea, he's been cold, distant, and treats me as though he never loved me! It's so painful. How does one "play" with another person's life like this?
