Broke up with boyfriend but need to stay for another week

[Anonymous]

I am devastated . Found a bunch of horny messages from my boyfriend to women from Craigslist / backpage while I was out of town last month. I broke up with him tonight but I need to stay with him for another week. I will be saving lots of money if I am able to wait it out. Please give me advice. We're both kind of frozen and he's not saying much except " nothing happened" .

By stay, do you mean not moving out?

I don't live with him. We're long distance and my flight isn't for another week.

Make plans to spend every evening with friends. That will minimize the number of hours you have to spend in awkward silence with him.

I also have a few appointments I really need to keep this week. I can visit my aunt during the week but I'm not sure if I can stay with her. She has a tiny place and I am not comfortable telling her what's going on.

You just suck it up. Live like roommates. Be polite and that's it. Don't talk about the relationship, or how hurt or angry you are. Someone sleeps on the couch or you alternate. I did it for two months with stbx. I think you can manage for a week.

We only have one blanket at his place... He's in the bedroom right now and I am freezing cold on the sofa.

Then you need to find some where else to stay or go buy another blanket.

You cannot go buy another blanket?!

Not right now. It's too late to go out.

What an ass. He should take the sofa. Good call breaking up with him.

Turn up the heat.

Why can't you fly back sooner? How much of a fee is there to change dates to fly? Call and ask.

Plus, once you get home you can go back to work (I assume you're employed) a week earlier and get a paycheck/not use PTO

I have a few appointments I really need to attend and a few evenings out with friends. I don't want to flake on them.

You can get a super warm blanket at Walmart for like $20, and they are cozy and soft enough that you will want to continue using it later, I promise. I bought one not intending to use it again and it's a staple for me.

If there is a 24 hour one in your area head there now.

I would ask your aunt if you could crash there. You don't have to explain everything if you don't want- you could even say "My boyfriend is out of town and I am afraid to be alone" or something. Whatever
