Dear elysiaknight:

Last time he said similar things to you and you went back to your parents’ house, he came back to you four days later asking for a getting-back together. Now that it happened again, it will be silly for you to leave again, only to have him asking you back. It is too much trouble for you and it is not right that you will suffer again in the same process of moving out and then moving back again.

He may be too distressed, again, because of lack of space, his mother’s involvement, his health issues and he desperately needs a break. What I suggest is to give him the break he needs by him moving away from the room you share. This time he needs to move, for 4 days, to see what his state of mind will be after he calms down.

When he gets his space this way, then the two of you can talk. There is a lot to talk about. What do you think about my suggestion so far?
