My (26m) ex fiancé (25f) ended things officially yesterday. We had been separated for about a week, and I finally sat her down and wanted to talk. She essentially said she knows she doesn’t want to be with me romantically anymore, says she still respects me and wants to end things with me while she still respects me. Super heartbroken, we are still living in the same house, I’m in one room, my ex in another, and our daughter (2) has her own room put she will also co sleep with each of us. Our lease is up in January. I know we are going to be good co parents because we both want to prioritize her. Not looking for advice to “get her back” or anything, I’m resigned myself that it’s over and I’m gonna give her space. Mostly just looking for how to handle the heartbreak while still living in the same house. For added context, my parents live in a Casita in the back, and my daughter goes to see them every day after preschool. We’ve been together for 4 years, we share a lot of the same friends, a lot of her friends became my friends, but none of them really know yet. Also, need advice on trying to explain situation to my little one. She’s gonna be 3 in July and she’s already saying stuff like “I miss mommy and daddy” and I’m dying inside. Sorry for the rambling I’m must everywhere. Thanks dads.
