How do you deal with living in the same house after a breakup?

I was in a 4 year relationship as of a day n a half ago. Engaged two. We never set a date. He bought the house, Supposedly for our future. I gave up my place and moved into the house. We have been living together a little over two years. We had an argument 1 day ago, and told me he is done with this relationship. This last argument lit the fuse on the bomb and it exploded. Like any other relationship we have had our problems, but I was under the impression that we were going to work things out. I came back from visiting my family for the Christmas holiday. Then we were getting ready to head out of town again. A day n a half ago we got in a little argument and he said that he was done with the relationship. He feels like He does not make me happy, nor is he no longer happy. Prior to that we had been sleeping in different rooms. This break –up to me came out of nowhere….we were suppose to be working things out..how is this working things out? I asked him was he having a mid life crisis. He said maybe, he just knows what he does not want for 2009. Later on that night he came to me and gave me a hug and we said that he cared for me. He also gave me a massage like no other and did intimate stuff to me without intercourse. I told him that he was sending mixed message. I will have to accept the breakup. I got a Storage today and trying to cope the best I can. He indicates that I can stay until I get myself together/place/relocation of job equipment. This resident no longer feels like HOME. It is awkward. I am trying to get the hell out fast as I can!

Update:

There were problems within the relationship. We agreed to stay together and work them out. Sleeping in different beds was a recent thing. If I was in the working it out mode...why would I think the break up would of just happended. I take responsibility in the demise of this relationship as well. I just want to know how to live together while I am looking for other sleeping arrangements. Yes, I agree moving into a home with no set date or married yet may be an issue for some. However I choose it ...now I am dealing with it!

Update 2:

I was engaged to him prior to moving in with him.

    Get a lock or some sort of tool to lock the bedroom door and lock it when you're in there at night. If you two are done, he doesn't need to be coming in there.

    ummm, he broke up with you but then was giving you hugs, cuddles and massages? I'm not sure he knows what he wants...

    If you were sleeping in different rooms and that is not normal for you surely you must have saw this coming what do you mean "This break –up to me came out of nowhere…." Obviously there were some problems if you were "working things out" so it didn't come out of nowhere.

    That said, anyone who breaks up a relationship and throws away 4 years after a "little argument" isn't worth it....

    I must say though the mistake you made was moving in with the guy before the engagement in his bought house.

    You say this break "came out of no where, yet you were sleeping in separate rooms"?

    How is this working things out?

    You both need to sit down calmly & actually talk with each other and truly listen, being as honest with yourselves & each other that you can be, You still might end the relationship but you both will be much more wise & understanding in future relationships. It's something you need to do.

    Good luck,

    do no longer hear to those idiots that say have intercourse to fulfill your self emotionally. It won't artwork. it could make issues extra complicated and worse. If I have been you i could inform my ex what i became feeling and why. it could make you sense better and eleviate a number of your rigidity too. i think of you're able to be able to desire to mirror on the entire relationship no longer in trouble-free terms get nestalgic regarding the sturdy cases in view which you're lonely and omit him. It additionally must be which you have been delicate with him and now which you're in a clean place and life-variety which you're afraid of what the destiny holds too. i could propose which you communicate this with him yet no longer bypass decrease back to him. It ended for a reason and it does sound that he desires to stitch some oats nevertheless. however, it does look like he has moved on and you haven't any longer it particularly is shy he's sharing (together with his new buddy/you) and you sense harm approximately it (in view which you nevertheless romantically survive him and have not moved on). I do think of that element of that's so annoying because of the fact of your isolation and absence of different stuff happening on your life that should make you sense fulfilled and supply you exhilaration. Even in rural factors there are issues you're able to do and relationships you're able to be able to make (acquaintances or romantic) which you would be able to benefit from. Make a itemizing of your pursuits and then locate the variety to lead them to ensue. particularly make the attempt. Are you working? Going to college? lively in social activities or activities? Do you have acquaintances? whether you do no longer sense like going obtainable and doing it as quickly as you're making your self do it you will finally end up happier. (i will basically approximately garantee it.) in spite of everything, he who frowns consistently is gloomy yet he who smiles and does relaxing issues shaw start to understand exhilaration! it particularly is an historical proverb yet very actual (and scietific learn instruct that's actual too). sturdy luck.
