Living in the same house after splitting

It’s not easy but if you guys don’t have an abusive relationship and can be cordial while whomever gets on their feet/makes arrangements then why not. My and my bd lived together a year after splitting so I could stay home w my son and it was what was best for my son. But it definitely sucked especially since I had to watch him get dressed and go out drinking and having while I stayed home w the baby every night.

Ok so me and my partner split back in October 2022. We tried to seek the house but at the time, the market sucked. Anyway, fast forward some time…. We fell pregnant again… we are now putting the house on the market again within the next week. I am the one that has pushed for this. He would quite happily live together and raise our daughters. We have a 4 bedroom house so space in that sense wouldn’t be an issue. But ultimately I am not happy, we both need to move on. We do get on and co parent well, o believe we will still get on well afterwards also. But I’ve explained to him that I’m not happy anymore and want to move on. Not in a sense of meeting another guy, but in a sense of not feeling trapped etc. I’ve lost myself as a person being in this scenario. Do I believe 2 people can live together and coparent after they’ve separated? Yes but only if both sides agree and set boundaries that need to be set.

@Korissa I’m sorry you had to go through this and to me this is what would suck the most as I know he will stop helping out as much and knowing I still love him and he is just there doing his own thing. Not sure I can handle it.

@Lauren did it ever get confusing for the kids and other family members? Did you get back together at some point or were you just still sleeping together? We have never told my family about any of our issues but I know the moment we do, that would be the end of our relationship and we wouldn’t be able to live together anymore as we only have a 3 bed, I’m expecting baby no.2 and I need help from my mum if I don’t get it from him.
