Hi everyone, I'm new to Reddit. I wanted to join because I really don't have anyone else to talk to about this besides you guys. I'm 21 years old and my girlfriend of 5 years dumped me. She started living in the same house as me and my parents, but she started not getting along with my parents. We started to fight more and more and just last week, I sat down to talk with her and she dumped me. She told me that she needed to grow and we needed to focus on ourselves. Just a couple days ago I found out that she kissed a guy she worked with. She told me that she still loved me though and that we needed our own space to grow and mature. 

She wants to move out now because she said she needed her space and being under the same roof as my parents only made things worse. But I know if she moves out she's going to move on. So as of now, she's still living with us under our roof while she's looking for a new place to stay. I know I have to avoid her to get better, but in this situation I can't. I don't really have any other friends to talk to about this and I haven't talked to other girls in so long, she was literally the only girl I talked to.

How can I deal with this? The thought of her choosing him over me kills me. How can I deal with this while she's still around? What should I do?
