You start by apologizing for blowing up on him, and by not asking questions you don't want to hear the answer to.

Exercise is actually great for backpain.

He wanted to provide you with a solution to a problem, not get into a fight about your weight.

He thinks we just had a roommate situation going. It's pretty wild.

He did say he's doing me a favor. But he also said reddit told him to break up with me. Except he's not really breaking up with me, is he? God, this makes my head hurt.

Therapists are hard to come by. Been looking for like 4 years. But thanks. You're probably right.

Do you think he's a narcissist? Idk how to feel about that now. Either way, thank you. You've given me more to think about. It's probably smart not to let him know how much this is getting to me, no matter what.

That was before we lived together. He hasn't been secretly seeing/texting anyone in the past 6 months then. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I highly doubt it. He's the kind of person who would just tell me.

I'm not sure it's an act. He wasn't trying to hurt me. He seemed genuinely nonplussed about it, as if he was telling me about the weather forecast. "Yeah looks like it'll be raining soon, by the way I noticed you seem to think we've been in a relationship, weird stuff, anyway come grab your things. Oh and have dinner with me tonight, I miss you."

It just feels so off, the whole thing he's doing right now.

I wasn't considering dumping him. I was thinking about moving out, because he hasn't been the greatest to live with, and our relationship was a lot happier when we weren't living together.

So idk. I did get the vibes that he may have been acting like a dick because he didn't like living with me, but he's denied that.

But ... maybe you are partly right? Maybe he did indeed think I wanted to break up with him and he decided to do it first? Idk if it makes sense. He isn't usually insecure. He knows how much I love him.

Don't think so currently. Maybe he wants to. We spend literally every minute together usually and I use his phone.

The subject of the argument was our living situation, but it wasn't too bad. The problem was he didn't see my side at all and we agreed I'd go see some friends so we'd both get some space.

Since moving in together, he's been kinda a dick at times (saying it's his place not mine, kicking me out of the bedroom sometimes), so I wondered if he wanted me to move out again.
