What else is there to presume? See my post just before this one. It had to be something to do with how they got along or didn't get along, living together.

I entirely disagree. His choice to leave is his own personal issue and has nothing to do with her. It has to do with him, his ego, and his own desire to leave. It has nothing to do with her and there's nothing wrong with her.

There may not be anything wrong with her. I'm just soliciting more info. I tossed out that one example, that maybe it was her, but it could have been him. The point is, something went wrong with their dynamic, but we don't know what it is. The OP has left out some crucial info to help us understand the situation. We can't help her until we have all the info.

You're young and seem to have your life on track with school and work. Why stress yourself out more for someone that only shows you attention when they want? If I were you I'd help him pack. See you whenever he wants? That only shows you its on his terms not regarding how you're feeling.

What he is doing is slowly getting out of your life. Right now you should just focus on finishing school and getting a career in your field. If he truely cared about you he would make it work even he needs "space". Don't force him to be there or force the relationship to work if it doesn't fall together by itself. Whats meant to be is meant to be.

I'm devastated and heartbroken willing to do anything to make it work I feel like he's being selfish.
I'm at a crossroad because he still wants to be together but move out and see me a few times a week whenever he has time. Idek what to do or think I love him so much been there through thick and thin helped support him through everything. He tells me he wants to marry me one day but I Can't accept the fact he's not willing to make it work now.
Am I over reacting I feel like he is turning his back on me? He is currently still at our condo but has told me several times he wants to move out and most the time really hostile about it. Last night he said today is the day he will leave so when j go home I expect his stuff not to be there. When he wants sex all that changes and he acts nice and says he loves me... he doesn't even seem like the same person since we moved in together he used to do anything to have me by his side. I helped him get through some rough patches over the last six months and now he's on the road to start succeeding and wants to leave me behind I feel like. He said he still wants to be together when he moves out but I don't know if I can be with him. Myself esteem is really low right now and I feel rejected
Right there. He just didn't spell it out.

What happened that you're not telling us, OP? Why did he suddenly get turned off, hostile even, after you two moved in together? Did you get smothering? Something must have happened. Why did he move in with you in the first place? Do those reasons no longer hold? Make what work? It usually doesn't take any effort, not in the first two months. Tell us what's going on.
I'm guessing it's the age difference? She's only 21; he's 28, and in a totally different place in life. He just didn't realize how far apart they were in maturity until they cohabitated.

Is he angry with you about something, OP? His behavior indicates he's angry about something. What was the premise that you decided to move in together on? Was it due to financial issues or did he cave because you were pushing for it?

Feels like there's something left out here to give any advice.

Probably, though they apparently started dating when OP was 18 and he was 25.

He says he wants to marry you but doesn't want to act like a partner.
Why would he need to move out to focus on business?
Why does he act hostile towards the situation?

Logically none of this behavior makes sense.
