my ex and i got back together, he used to live with me and now he is living with his friends he says that it is better that way, that we both can give each other the space we need instead of always being together all the time, what does he mean by that? do you think that is a good idea in the long run?

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

thanks for the help! we used to hang out now and then but after awhile he started hanging out with his friends everyday, one time he said that he rarely does anything with his friends anymore! to me it was like we were married, i was the one that broke up with him, i just could not take the relationship anymore, i guess i needed my space too!

I recently seperated from my boyfriend about 5 week ago. We were together 2 years lived together for 8 month. I do love him terribly and I do want him back but thats a different story...

My point is although I do really want him back I would not live with him again straight away. Before we moved in together all of the time we spent together was quality time and we LOVED every minute of it. When we moved in together that 'spark' kinda went because we were spending every waking minute together. I believe that having time apart can bring you closer because it allows you to miss your boyfriend when he isnt there and look forward to the time that you will be spending together. It will bring lots of good energy to the relationship and when the time is right for both of you to move in together you'll know.

Just dont make the same mistakes as last time!!

Hope this has helped :)

This is over. He was an ex before, and now that he's living with his friends, all he wants is you there for the sake of having a girlfriend. If he was serious about getting back together, he would really be putting effort in right now. I think it's time you ended it and moved one. Don't waste your time.

was that part of the reason you broke up? Because you were spending too much time in each others company?

When you get back with an ex i think it's always a good idea to start off slow, start dating again like it's the first time. It's probably not advisable to rush back to how things were by moving in together, you'll want to make sure the problems you had previously don't arise. Not spending everyday together allows you time to appreciate the other and when you do get to see him and you'll probably have more things to discuss.

When you were living together did you go out without the other much? Did you see your friends and did he see his?
