My Boyfriend Asked Me to Move in, but Now He Says He Needs More Space. Is This the End?
Four months ago, my boyfriend asked me to move in. He even went and purchased furniture for my own personal glam room. Yesterday he said he “needed space” and we spend too much time together. We both work from home. I never moved completely in, but I feel hurt that he said he needed space.…
