I also agree... what was he putting into the relationship? Sounds as if you were nurturing the relationship (or trying to) as well as doing all the work around the house. I don't see where he was contributing anything. That is why you left him. Why go back to the same thing? If you went back, you would still be unhappy like you were when you left. Not taking your needs into consideration by keeping the TV on when you're trying to sleep, being on the computer all night, etc. You felt ignored and neglected--well, most women would, in that situation. He sounds awfully selfish to me. Sounds as if he needs to learn how to appreciate. I would not go back if I were you. I would offer to be his friend, as was already suggested, but would not move back in with him or be lovers. He needs to grow up and at least learn to try to add something positive to the relationship. Sounds as if he was totally dependent on you, and those kinds of relationships rarely work.
