Question - (3 December 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 4 December 2012)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *ez7 writes:

Me and my boyfriend recently lived together for six months, then due to him needing to sort his thoughts out and have space(wasnt sure if he was ready for a relationship etc) we decided i should move home with family.

so for the last half of the year he has lived on his own, and i with family. there was some visits between us when we could since it was diffcult with the distance, we are still in contact and still together.

But now the contract has ended and he has moved home with his family. he says he is ready to live with me now but not until his work experience is up. (im assuming a few months).

but talking to him on the phone etc, he just sounds so much happier and better off without me around? he was quite miserable before, understandable living on your own but i dont know if he is just generally happier without me.

he gets annoyed when i say im glad he sounds happier though? i want him to be happy very much.

i guess my question is, is he happier without me around him

So_Very_Confused agony auntthe only one who knows he is happier without you around is him.

IF you have asked him and he has said no, then you must take him at his word. DO NOT hammer at him about it. LET IT GO.

aunt honesty agony auntI think he gets annoyed at you for saying this because you are insecure and you are making him see that you think he is happier without you around. My guess is that you are reading to much in to it. He was probably just not ready to move in together, that is a big step, and yes it can get lonely living on your own, but he has now told you that he feels ready to make that commitment therefore you should be happy and taking his word for it instead of doubting him.
