i agree on the notice thing...too much and the manipulation and confusion will make you crazy....not enough and if he has that type of personality, could make the move and the first days ..well, not good. but anyway, congrats for you!!! i think it is perfect for you, cuz at least you will have your friend for some company,which will help you get thru it and stick to your decisions. that is a problem i have right now with my break-up....i dont have anyone to really talk to,hang out with, so it makes me vulnerable. at least i acknowledge that, though, and so far have done really well not going back to him at all.
