<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

We had been living with each other for a year and a half and it had been steadily going downhill. She has a lot of maturity issues, combined with severe anxiety and issues with her family, all of which led to me feeling like more of a parent than boyfriend. She has never really been on her own, so that tended to lead to her relying on me for what I felt was too much, to the point of taking advantage of me. The main reason I broke up with her was because I simply couldn't handle the stress anymore, and I felt that she needed to get out on her own and learn to be more dependent.

The last month has been pretty terrible on both of us. I was so busy with the holidays that I was able to fake happiness. She, on the other hand, made it very well known how much she was hurting. And through her pain said some pretty awful things about me to our mutual friends. As well as doing things to make me jealous when we have been around each other. Since the holidays have ended I have noticed myself really missing her. 

I know that if we get back together now we will just go back into the same downhill spiral, so that really isn't an option. I guess I am just looking for advice from anyone that has been through this before. I feel like there is going to be a talk between us soon to figure out how to handle this, since we do run in the same groups and tend to see each other quite often. The advice I am getting from friends and family is all over the place, so I am really hoping an outside opinion from someone that has been in my shoes will help.
