I wonder what that means.

Speculate for me, potd.


It means he still cares about you but not necessarily more. I hugged my ex the other week when we got lunch, because I still care about her, even though we're both with different people.

Unless you have no other options, you should probably not be living together. You'll both be able to think more clearly apart. A few years ago two of my roommates broke up right after we signed a lease. We had no spare bedroom or anything so they had to continue to share the same bed.

Most awkward year ever.

It's not the time together. It's more to do with the alcoholism than the time. That's what I meant when I asked if you had been in a situation like this.


Oh! With a problem/issue/habit? No. We were 2 very boring people, so yeah, I can not relate.

It may not be that simple for him either.

There are things about your relationship he probably liked and misses/missed once it was over. It's also highly likely that when you were in rehab he had time to himself and realized he was unhappy, hence him breaking up with you at that point.

If he is a caring guy, he probably is scared of getting back into a relationship with you for fear of it not working and hurting you when it doesn't (or getting trapped in something he isn't happy with).

Heck any of that could be happening but he doesn't even know it.

Best bet is if you really want to be in a relationship with him, take it slow, just try and have fun/be happy around him as much as possible, and show him you have your life under control etc. I wouldn't make a big deal about him hugging you etc, and while you might want to eventually let him know your still open to getting together again (if you have not already), I wouldn't pressure him, even after a month. Let him get comfortable with living with you and see that you have control of your life and don't need him.

If he feels safe, he is either going to want to start a relationship again, or he is going to want to eventually move out etc. Doesn't sound like he's working towards moving out, so I'd say he's at least open to getting back together.

I'd suggest focusing on your own life for now, and honestly don't even know if being in a relationship right now is the best idea. Get your own life in order, boost your own self worth/self esteem etc, and once you feel confident in yourself, then consider being in a relationship. Might be better to just stay friends with him for now, at least for a month or two, and then if you both want to get back together, you will be centered in who you are, and your new life, and not in the middle of changing.

Doesn't mean he can't be a good friend though, or hug you etc. I just think in such cases, unless your already in a commited relationship, it's best to focus on your self, and not need to worry about another persons feelings, or open yourself up to pain etc from a relationship. You can't control a relationship, but you can control yourself.

The conversation I'm going to have in two weeks isn't one where he needs to decide if he wants to be back in a relationship with me right now. But I'm devoting too much headspace to this idea of a possible relationship right now and living together isn't helping. So I'm going to check in and decide whether we should continue to live together or not.

Hugging someone on the way to work etc is a friend thing to do.

Hugging someone while they are laying in bed is not.

I've hugged many friends before, but no friend has ever hugged me while I was laying in my bed lol.

he wants to have non-committal sex with you.


I'm not doing that. I have some self-respect now.

Good. I think you should be careful because he may think his feelings are coming back but actually hes just missing the sex

I mean Idk its just something thats I think COULD happen so be weary of that~

I think he has something he doesnt understand (maybe he just misses you somewhat even though you live together, maybe he misses the sex, maybe his feelings are coming back, or maybe he is past it so much that being platonic doesnt hurt its just natural)
And I think he will be confused on which of those is happening and you guys have to navigate that yourselves basically.

It just means he wanted to touch your boobs again.

Or it means he still has some lingering feelings for you, and wanted to give you a hug despite moving on.

Or it could just be out of habit.

But it's still probably because he wanted to touch your boobs

He could also be nervous you'll reject him at this point, since he may feel guilty about breaking up with you. I don't know him, and barely know you (like just internet know you lol), so it's pretty much impossible to give good advice, but I do think it's best to focus on yourself right now.

It's great if you have a support system while going through this, but you don't want to complicate things more then necessary either. If he cares for you, I would suggest he just be there for you as a friend for a bit then slowly move into a relationship after you both have some time to regather yourselves.

Makes it much harder that you are living together of course, in such cases you are almost forced to either grow closer, or farther apart. Does sound like he is making moves to grow closer which is good, but...even if you do want that, you might want to seriously sit down with him and talk about the most healthy way for you both to move forward.

Honestly I know you seem ok with it right now, but is he ok with cutting seriously back on how much he drinks, or at least around you, for instance? I don't even know if he drinks but from the sound of the birthday get together the other day, it sounds like he does. He was supportive of you in that situation, but is he willing to support you long term.

I only even suggest having the conversation as he seems to be moving towards a romantic relationship very fast (sorry but hugging you in bed is not a "friend" hug). Normally I'd say just let things settle down and revisit it all in a month or two, if he's not willing to wait that long, then it wasn't going to work anyway.

It's crazy around where I live btw, I have like 8 friends who are desperate to date a woman who actually wants a relationship and not just casual/poly stuff. No clue if it's like that where you are, but there are probably tons of guys that would be very happy to be in a relationship with you and be supportive.

Don't sell yourself short, and don't settle. This isn't all about what he wants or what will make him happy, you are just as important.

Haven't read the whole chain, but it was probably a "I care about you as a friend" hug, not a "I still want to be together" hug. I mean pretty much every break-up I had ended with a hug because while we didn't want to be together anymore, we still understood that we were both going to be heading into difficult times after being together for so long.

Granted, I never had a "bad" breakup and I don't know your situation but I am just saying don't read too much into it.

He obviously misses you and loves you. Just like you love him still. When you truly love someone, you simply never stop loving them. Unless they do some crazy ass shit of course. I think the main thing is he is happy your getting yourself help and actively trying. Hes probably really happy for you and glad. Relationships are hard work and require a lot of trust. So just be patient and things may just natural fall back into place.

look i'm no relationship expert, but just hanging out to wait and see if he one day wakes up and falls in love with you again is not healthy.

i understand this is probably the best living situation for you atm and i take no qualm with that, but please tell me you wouldn't consider getting back with him if he asked you. i get you may have been a dick to him prior to rehab, but that doesn't mean he's allowed to keep you on the hook and be a dick to you in return

I definitely would get back together with him. I love him very much. He's got to heal just as much as I have and I need to be understanding of his struggle too. But I can't be on the hook forever. I can wait what I feel is a reasonable amount of time and then move on and we can remain friends. But I'm not going to wait an indefinite amount of time. Trust me, I've thought this through and I've talked about it in my group therapy. It's not something I'm taking lightly.
