Sad blog is sad.
After many long months of fighting on and off, my girlfriend has dumped me. She wanted me to immediately leave my apartment (which we share with her sister as well), and having no other option, I have come to my mum's house in Barrie. It just wasn't healthy anymore, but it isn't what either of us wants, and the main idea is for me to seek professional help, give her some alone time, and maybe try to reconnect eventually.
The frustrating thing is, that to give her the space she desires, I had to quit my job, and come to a place where cheap or free counselling is not available. Had I been able to stay, I would have been referred to a free psychotherapist in K Town, and could have kept my job, allowing me to afford to live. As it stands, I am jobless, living in my mum's house without my cat or my furniture or anything, and without the ability to seek help. Not to mention, if we decided to get back together, she would have to support me financially until I could find another job, and that would be an awful way to start over.
And so, since my apartment is still mine (name's on the lease), I am trying my best to convince her to have me move back in on the terms that we still are not dating, and I am focusing on getting help and working (if I can get my old job back in time). I know living with your ex is hard, and it would be bad to rush back into things, but at the same time I don't feel I should have to impose on my mum, be broke, and stay out of a residence that I am legally entitled to live in.
Anyways, that's what is new in my life..hope everyone else is having a better week.

However, your name IS on the lease.. I don't see what the problem is with you moving back in.
Furthormore, if she needs space.. she could've quit. If she was adament about it, she would have. I think it is great of you as her lover to have done that to give her space, but the decision seems irrational!!
I hope things work out for the best,
