Nothing fits

[MichelleLT]

If he likes having you in the same room, read your book while he is watching tv. There has to be a compromise.

Don't give up the little things that bring you joy.

And stop with all the assumptions. You don't know how much him needing a place to stay was an excuse to come back. And even if that's all it was, you two certainly didn't have to start a physical R back up. You each made that choice because you each wanted it.

Try and make the R you have with him what you want and need. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work out. And you already know you can survive that, and even thrive on your own.
