Should I stay or should I go?

I’ve been with my (now ex) boyfriend for over a year now. We live together, we’re really great friends. Lately there’s been a lot of really stupid fights going on and I’m over it. We tried this whole break thing but it didn’t really work for me. We’re not really looking to be with anyone else or anything, we just literally see each other every day and we’re driving each other crazy. (Too much of one person he says) He wants to keep doing this whole break thing but I said we either break-up or we stay together, breaks are too confusing.

Now, last night we decided we should try being “single” but the problem is we live together. We sleep together. Every space between us is shared. I said I thought it would be better to just move my stuff to a different bedroom in the house and we’ll go from there. He says I should just move my bed into our current room so we just sleep in separate beds.

I don’t know which one of these would be better. I feel if we still sleep in the same room nothing will change. I think he’s just trying to keep me… on a leash if you will. He’s really concerned that I’m going to find someone else.

To clear this up better, my boyfriend’s not really the affectionate type and I am very affectionate. That is why we fight, because it drives him crazy when I kiss him or cuddle him. He wants a “break” from all the affection.

What should I do? Should I stay in the room with him, should I move into the other room, should this relationship just be over?

I would much rather not go through this whole break up deal, but whatever makes him not bitch at me every night.
