bad idea to stay with ex?

0

Preface
my ex finance broke up with me about 6 mo ago while i was gone on business with the reason that she just doesn’t want a relationship anymore. since then I have moved to the other side of the world (literally) and I and going back to her city for work and agreed to stay with her rather than get a hotel. I’ll be there for a month and i still love her as much as i did when i was with her but she still remains that she doesn’t want a relationship.

I believe that going back to live with your ex id opening your self up to the possibility of being hurt again.If she really does not want to be with you but you still love her putting yourself in that environment could ruin any possibility of a friendship I recommend when you are absolutely sure you are over her then maybe getting back in touch withe her

Since you still have strong feelings for her, and she's clearly not interested in getting back together, I think it would be really difficult to be living with her for a full month. If I were you, I would consider staying somewhere, or with someone else. You just mentioned that you will still see her when you're in town, so there's still a chance that you could rekindle something in that time. However, it sounds like she's pretty clear on the fact that she doesn't want to travel away from her family for long periods of time, and she's probably not going to change her tune with you leaving again in 4 weeks.
Obviously if traveling is part of your career, and you like what you're doing then you need someone who is willing to travel with you, or who is willing to do a long distance relationship. It doesn't sound like your ex is that person, so I think you should avoid her as much as possible to spare your feelings, and focus more on finding someone who is comfortable with your lifestyle.
If your feelings for her are more important to you than your job, then maybe addressing your feelings with her would be a good idea. Of course, in order to make things work with this person in particular you might need to find a new job, one that doesn't require you to travel and allows you to be with her. At this point though, she might not have the same feelings anymore. Consider what you can't live without, her? or your job? if it's her, then you need to let her know how you feel and do whatever it takes to be with her. Good luck!

I wont be able to avoid seeing her while im there even if i dont stay with her so thats why i am hoping that if she sees me again it will rekindle something(i failed to mention that i was traveling non stop for work for 9mo prior to the breakup and so I know that it is partially my fault she wanted to be single... she didnt want to travel with me and leave her family for as long as i do

I don't understand how people can just make their love for another person disappear -snaps- like that, if it was even there at all. It's one of the most hurtful things you can do to someone else, especially since you had marriage plans with her at one point. I wouldn't want to waste any more of my romanticism with this girl. I'm glad that she was nice enough to let you stay with her while you were in town, which implies that she does have some sense of care for you left. Plus, something could be rekindled in the meantime of your stay, so if you're dead-set on still wanting a relationship with her, then hope that something will happen. If hoping just isn't enough, make subtle romantic gestures towards her and hope that it'll make her realize how important you are to her. Hopefully everything will work out! :)

I don't care what happened, I don't care what he did, I don't care if he was a great boyfriend or a horrible one. Never go back to an ex boyfriend. Never. Not an ex husband, fiance, boyfriend, anything. God has kicked that title away from him for a reason, keep it that way.
