<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

We've been dating for almost two years, and living together for about a year and a half. She's had a very rough past... Body-image issues, self-harm, rape, emotional and physical abuse from past partners, and abandonment issues from her alcoholic mother.  All of these things culminated into trust and jealousy issues in our relationship.  In addition, we're both very stubborn and our chemistry (sexually speaking) isn't in sync. 

We still love each other very much and agree that our relationship can't go on like this.  She says that she needs space to find herself and work through her issues. I agree, wholeheartedly. 

But here's the dilemma, the city we live in is growing so its incredibly difficult to find and apartment, let alone one that allows pets. I could just move back to my parents house, but that would leave her with the financial burden of paying all the rent. She is a full time student so this wouldn't work. She is new to this city and doesn't really know anyone who she could crash with. So we're going to live together until we can figure out a better living situation. 

I am still in love with her, so this is going to be hard. We've agreed that we need to give each other a lot of space so I'm going to try my best to leave her alone. 

What should I do in the meantime to keep myself from pining over her and falling into a vortex of depression? I've been contemplating paying my half of the rent and moving home but at this point, I am a big emotional support for her and I will only do that as a last resort.
<bot>: I'm going to be living with my ex girlfriend for a month. We still love each other but can't be together. What can I do to keep myself happy and sane?
