Living with your ex

Me and my partner have pretty much called it a day. There’s a property become available, but isn’t ready until august for me and my kids to move. How can we live together for 4m but still be amicable?

Hello. I am in the same boat. I think it is going to take good communication which sadly we do not have between us. Is it amicable?

Hey, I recently had to do this. We broke up in November and lived together until end of March (even had to share a bed), it's hard but you have to try and do your own things. I decided to look at what the schedule would look like for our little boy and started that in January, this helped as you get to have your own time with your little one but then also time for yourself. Plus, I think it helped our little one get used to seeing mummy or daddy more on separate occasions. One thing that helped me was trying not to "enter his game" as my therapist called it. Whatever he tried starting I would just try and just not respond or play into it. Was very hard but definitely started helping. Here to chat if you ever need to vent!

Hey Natalie. I’d appreciate a chat if possible please?
