I was curious to see if im the only dipsh*t who is separated, but currently still living with my H. Due to financial reasons and also due to our child. Has anyone does this and still been able to successfully live their life or do you eventually just break down and one moves out? I know that traditionally its the norm for one partner to move out, but in my state its acceptable for the married couple to remain under one roof as long as there is no sexual activity. Has this worked for anyone?

 

I know that i feel like the pressure is finally off, that i can live my own life without trying, trying, trying-only to fail miserably at it. Now we are more of roommates and so far its actually working out. Hes really trying to get back into my good graces, but i cant go back to the way it was. We are actually getting along like old friends, instead of an over-stressed married couple. Marriage counseling is next on the agenda. Anywho, would love to hear everyones feedback! thanks.. I also posted this in the Separation/Divorce forum.

Wow, I thought my ex and I were the only ones that ever tried this. LOL

 

I've been moved back in since last November. It's had it's good and bad moments (he's a horrible person to try to get along with). We don't have a choice in the matter, either. It sounds like you and your ex are getting along a lot better than we are, I'd say you have a good chance of pulling it off.

 

There's no such thing as only one correct method of conducting your life. Whatever works the best for you guys is what is best for everyone.

 

I'm about to go bitch & moan about my ex in a moment in a post of my own, you'll prolly appreciate your own situation a lot more.

 

Good luck to you!
