Subject: So I broke up with my girlfriend, but we still live together...
Mainly just venting but if anyone has any constructive or funny advice I'd love to hear them.
After three years being together, I broke up with my girlfriend on Sunday. We had been having rough times for over a year, it just finally got to be too much. Not that we fought but mainly we just haven't been more than friends in a long time. So why not make it official?
I did sort of wuss out and ask for a break rather than an outright breakup, but I didn't want to upset her too much and I think she got the point. It was sad for both of us but she took it pretty well. Then later on she asked if it would make a difference if she got rid of the cats.(point of contention) I was worried she was backsliding into wanting to be together, but since then she's been much better and is starting to let me do my own thing.(Vegging out and playing games after work which I miss doing sometimes)
Now the true test is that I have two different dates this weekend and another next weekend. Well, at least two are dates. The third I'm not sure about but I'm picking her up for a movie and she suggested dessert afterwards... So I'm not really sure if I even want to date anyone, though I do like at least one quite a bit, Or if I want to just date casually for a bit.
And if I do get serious, I guess I'd have to move out and get a different place.... I don't really want to, I like this apartment. Vaulted ceilings for the win....So after a long time of trying to avoid drama I seem to have placed myself squarely in it's way.

So you like to veg out on the couch and play video games, you live with your ex, and you are trying to bang girls right after you broke up?


Pure winner

Either you continue to boink your ex as "friends" and she has no problem with other women having sex with you in her house.... or one of you moves out.

Till then she isn't your "ex", she is just a pissed off girlfriend you don't have sex with.

Not really. Sometimes it takes outside points of view to see things clearly. Maybe it really was a pipedream to stay roomies. Guess I should probably start looking at other places. Thanks, guys. :-)

Sounds like you're stringing her along, trying to have your cake and eat it too. She's making sacrifices for you to make things work and it doesn't seem like you really broke things off just kind of broke things off letting you feel better about going out on dates with other people and treating her like garbage.

If you don't want to be with her, man up and tell her straight. Then find your own place so you can play all the video games you want.

I would probably make a plan for one of you to move as soon as possible.

If it's a financial thing I can understand until the lease is up or whatever, but generally it's a horrible idea for a variety of reasons.

Also good luck explaining to your dates that you still live together. That's a red flag a mile wide for most women.

If you really don't care about her anymore and think going out with other women while living with her is a good idea, imagine walking in and finding her having hot monkey sex with a couple of guys you know on the couch.

You OK with that? No problem right?

Now imagine that happening every single day and you not getting any...then go pack.

This is why you plan breakups for when the lease is up.

this what happened, relationship was going ok not great but ok, he gets hit on by some decently hot chick which he decided he wants to hit. so he tells his gf he wants a break, she's like wtf but then see's he is vegging around playing video games and figures he just wants to do that for while without her bugging him, so she's cool with it since they aren't really broken up. soon he doesn't come home every night and she realizes he is cheating on her so she BURNS THE APARTMENT TO THE MFKIN GROUND

I know her offering up the cats was huge, but I wouldnt let her do that, anyways. I dont want to change her. And the cats were only a small problem as far me being allergic and them scratching things. Bottom line is we lost the spark a while ago.
People are right, though. I need to find a new place and end things completely.
