Well the gf might be bad news, or she might not. Really, not many people will respond or behave well to their partners living with their exes, AND taking care of them.


They will feel like they're coming in second place, and who wants to play second fiddle to anyone, let alone a so called "ex".


That is asking a bit much of anyone.


Your ex might be behaving badly because he really doesn't want to lose this girl, and realizes that you are standing in their way. You and the promises he made to you.


I'm really sorry things have gotten so bad for you, but regardless of what promises were made, its up to you to become independent, its not his job to make you so...


We make promises, and we mean them at the time, not realizing that what lies ahead may make those promises impossible to keep.


That's why I try not to make any, and I'm glad my bf has the same mindset. When the word promises gets thrown around, it sets high expectations and almost guarantees disappointment.


Its time to cut the ties between you and your ex, find your feet, and work toward taking care of yourself. Because this whole arrangement is just a breeding ground for anger and resentment, which is a recipe for disaster.


Part ways now while you can still do so on good terms, or you may lose his friendship forever.
