2 days ago, my boyfriend said that he was having doubts about our relationship. I hadn't seen this coming at all I overreacted and began moving out of the 2 bedroom apt. we share. after a few hours, I cooled off, and we sat down to talk about it more. between the two of us, we realised that the "couple" part of the relationship (Sex, Romantic Love, that sort of thing) had started crumbling awhile ago. We also decided that, despite this painful issue, that we couldn't live apart from each other for a variety of Reasons (neither of us can pay for the place alone, we were best friends before we started dating and love each other in that way, etc etc etc) So it has been decided that We'll split up, and we'll move into separate Bedrooms.

 

This is the problem: Although I realise NOW that the couplehood was starting to crumble...I'm not ready to give up. Hes been thinking this over for weeks, And its been less then 48 hours for me.

 

My Question, now what I've finally gotten to the point:

How do I establish a Normalcy in our apartment? We still watch movies and play games together, and I can't stop falling into old habits (Hand holding, Snuggling on the couch)

 

Any advice? My life feels like a Bright eyes song right now!!!!

a couple i share an apt with just broke up last week. the girl was devastated and the guy acted like he didnt care. but they were both broken. the girl now tries to do new activities to keep her busy and look for a plan for the future. after the fighting and bickering right after the breakup was over they still hangout and talk and can be around each other. who knows, they may end up getting back together. but they do spend time like going out for drives or dinners.
