I have been divorced for almost 3 years and my ex-husband has basically lived in our family home the entire time. He might not sleep here every night but he is here everyday. I guess my real question is should I have been more understanding of my ex-boyfriend of 2 1/2 years that my home situation makes him uncomfortable. Our relationship hasn't really progressed in the last 2 1/2 years. He doesn't like to come over very often because of my ex and I don't like to go to his place because of his roommates. We had other issues but the lack of progression was basically the main reason I broke up with him 3 weeks ago. He is heart broken and is trying to show me how much he does love and respect me so I will reevaluate our relationship potential. I am moving into my own place this weekend and he is so sad because this is the moment he says he has been waiting for for such a long time. Is it possible that my home life situation was the number 1 contributing factor of the lack of progression in my relationship or just an excuses from a man who only wanted to be with me when it was convenient for him?
