Quoting hoping: We had another talk and he told me that it does not mean the end, he just needs some of his own space. He said we could still do things with our friends together, even said if we went out to a movie and he decided to stay the night, that it did not mean everything was ok, and if he decided that he needed to go back to his own place it would not mean that things were bad.
There is much good in this! I know (you've been over to my thread so you know I know) sometimes it seems really bad. But look at the positives and concentrate on those! Baby steps. He has closed no doors! He actually keeps them all open a bit! There IS room for improvement here!
