You can do one of two things in my mind, either have a heart to heart talk with her (communication and honesty are really good to go by), and thats the one I suggest, or you should start figuring out how to not live with that group anymore.

It's really hard being with an ex as a friend, let alone living with one. I don't know where you 2 stand but I would definitely talk with her.

i dont understand people who are friends with exes, but to each his own.

Friends with an ex is hard and basically not worth it...better just to move on to be sure.

my ex and i are better friends now that when we were married but i dont thinki would want to live with her or her with me. somethings need to be left in the "ex box" ie. living together. i say; friends yes roomates, not a good idea

I dnt believe that such plan can work b'cos u will have the feelin for her no matter what even though u split and ur ex girlfriend came to stay with u ,as for me i will bein havin the jealousy over her,and secondly i will nt be free with her any longer cos i wil be dull if i'm with her .

I don't know exactly what to say to that. But I understand how you feel. My ex/roommate/best friend and I dated then things got a bit akward. I really do still have feelings for him but he claims he no longer has any for me. So to save our friendship I decided to back off. The way I'm starting to see it is if it's meant to be it will happen. Can't worry about whether or not it will because you might miss the moment to regain that spot by worrying if it will be. Just go with the flow. Maybe tell her how you feel. Get it out in the open. She'll think about what you said and she may realize she feels the same. Best way to go is to be honest.

It's also easier for it to work out if you two were friends before hand. My best friend is my roommate and ex so obviously it can work. It's just a bit different and a little harder but if you want it that badly then it can work out fine.

I lived with my ex for a little while. We have no bitterness and remain good freinds to this day

He has helped me raise his girls all these years sometime spending weeks with me if their was a crisis

ok Kyle...I'm a blunt kinda girl. you are having trouble because your mindset. yes it takes time...but you have to work on it as well. don't just think it will happen over night. and coming back from vacation...knowing you are coming back to her living there....doesn't help. seriously...get your own place. if she isn't on the lease (check with your state) but most states require a 30 day notice for month to month. if she isn't on the lease...then that is what she would be since she is living there. but as long as she is there...you can't move on.


Even if she isn't on the lease, that's her legal place of residence.

i agree. if you were away from her, it'd still be hard, but you wouldn't have to see her everyday and suffer.

I understand that it would help doing this. I suppose i could put it out there as an option but i feel its going to be harder than it sounds. ADVERSITY has struck my life at the wrong time and I AM Lost at how to resolve this issue, Im to young to have this stress and heartache. Does anyone actually think its possible to get through this without running???????


It's called closure.
