[Serious] Reddit: What is your age and what problem are you currently facing in your life?

​

My ex-girlfriend who I definitely still love and who definitely loved me just moved back to the city where we met... with her boyfriend. She doesn't want to live with him. I know this because she said to me she definitely wasn't ready. He only got on the lease because her other friend dropped out a week before the deadline. They've been dating for like 6 months, maybe a little more.

She definitely doesn't love him. I know this because she told me. She talks about how he can't control his emotions, he gets jealous because she has a lot of guy friends. Apparently, he throws objects around the house when he gets mad, She even said he "pushed her". I don't know what that means, but she said it with a very deliberate lack of detail. She never misses details. She makes razors look like NOVA she's so god damn sharp. I don't think he's beating her, I think he's just an ass, but that shouldn't be her bar for happiness or her boyfriend. She clearly isn't happy and it's so frustrating because I'm right here and know I can make this woman so stupidly happy, supported and emotionally secure. She told me she was 110% sure she loved me in the year and a halfish we were together. This was right before she kissed me two nights ago.

Know where she kissed me? On the lips. Slowly. With like, 80 seconds of buildup. This wasn't some "I really like the time we had but I've moved on and still appreciate you" forehead shit, this was "we can't do this, but I want to, but we can't," Airport novel romance shit. It's real but it was too cheesy to have written in a script. I held her for a while, she held me, she tells me she likes it when I touch her hair, she plainly still has feelings for me. Admittedly, both her and I don't want her to cheat on this guy, but I am so stupidly sure I love her. I know I have to just wait it out and let the natural progression of things take their course. She's gotta realize she isn't happy, right?

​

I know my solution is to keep being me and let her see what she's missing but woof, it ain't easy.

​

For those wondering: We broke up because she took a job in another state and could never really see each other and I didn't want her worrying about me or her job which she was so excited about and way too good at. She's a geneticist, got the highest grades in the history of her college. She's as smart as I am smitten, but can't seem to see that she isn't happy. I guess it makes sense to not want to break up with someone you live with, and it's easy for someone to sweep things under the rug but holy hell I hate seeing her this way and want her to come home and complain to me every day so badly.
