Magic, Well, it appears that postings are still going in a circular motion again and again and it looks like the discussions are pretty much the same as they were last year. Personal relationship vs. business relationship. Okay, I get you want the personal relationship so badly that you are willing to toss everything aside to try again. I really do get it...however, you need to get your business relationship taken care of first. In other words, get your financial situation and partnership on paper so that you are financially secure and know that he's not pulling the wool over your eyes once more w/empty chatter.
So, how can you agree to be exclusive w/your xbf/business partner if you've not dated in over a year? How does that work? When are you moving back in w/him and his mother? After all, if you are going to have this "exclusive" relationship, I would question him about moving back "home" or is he still talking about purchasing a home? If so, you need to find out when the two of you are actually going to go around and see some houses, etc.
If your xbf continues to bs you w/idle chatter and doesn't show "action" in the next few weeks, I'd say you have been hoodwinked all over again w/chatter of this and that just to keep you on the line. Observe, listen and see where his promises of exclusive take the both of you.
But, in the meantime, get yourself in a better position financially and don't put this off another 12 months. This piece of business has been up in the wind for 12 months and still hasn't been completed. This is no way to run a business...unless that's exactly the way he wants it and is not bothered w/what you want.
