My boyfriend and I were dating long distance for 2 years because I was finishing up college and a year ago I finished school and decided to move in with him. Almost a year later, after moving in with him he decides he wants to take a break. The last couple of months we had been fighting and hadn't made love and he says the stress overwhelms him. I feel as though his stress comes from me being home all the time because I'm slowly making friends of my own and since I'm always with him he feels that he doesn't have space. So now he's decided that he needs time to him-self and I would ultimately have to move back... a long distance from him again. I'm wondering what the terms are for a break or if our relationship is worth salvaging after all because I would have to move back after I made the move to be with him. Any answers?

Is it worth it to you? Is the relationship with him worth moving back to where ever and then back there again if it works out? I would say no. He doesn't seem to be able to handle life with someone else and he really wants to be free more than he wants space in my opinion. I suggest letting him know that if you aren't wanted that you will just go home and stay there for a while. That you can try again another time. Just give it a break though, you never know what could happen. And who knows, maybe moving back home will be ultimately better for you.
