Living Together but Separated?
Serious answers only please. Has anyone ever lived through a break-up with their partner and how did you cope with it. I'm in this situation for just over a week now and not coping well, cannot sell house as would lose too much money and nowhere else to go. My partner said he is was not happy with me out of the blue, only moved into new house in December, so gutted to say the least!

Hiya
Me and my partner of 5 years are splitting up - and we are having to live together for the time being, im a stay at home mum to our 3 year old child, i have nowhere to go, and he cant go anywhere as he is the sole tenant of this house we are in
It is really hard, i just forget sometimes and i wanna kiss him or throw my arms around him or sit and ask him about his day - but because of the stuff that has happened between us, we only interact as parents, as 2 different people we are seperate
Its gonna get more complicated over time - my partner deff wants this split and so i respect that enough to get myself on my feet asap, but living with him - for the next 6 months is gonna be so hard because i love him so much and dont want us to split up, its like im clinging to every hope because we are still in the same house that we might decide to work it out
Its only been 3 days for me and i cant cope :(
Hope you think of something xx

Me and my ex lived together for 3 years while we were separated because we had built a new house a couple of years before and we couldn't afford to live apart at that time.
It was easier on our kids with both of us still being in one home and still living as a stable family. We both kept our own personal lives out of our home and our home was just for family time.
This is something that most couples would have a hard time with but my ex is a very understanding man and honestly wanted the best thing for all of us.

You are not alone!
According to report, the divorce rate of Spain has been lower than ever during this global economic crisis. Most of those estrange couples had the similar issue as yours and they decided to stay which might save their marriage in the long run (unless your marriage is disaster itself!).
Marriage is always hard under any circumstance. It’s easy for the rest of us telling you to move on and ignore the financial situation. It’s your life!
If you and your partner can have a decent conversation about your future and financial situation, it will help you both to build a mutual arrangement of living which can save either of you from financial disaster yet retreat your relationship. Instead of married couple, try to become friends and FAMILY members of each other! It’s extremely crucial if there are children involved.

god thats a terrible shame, you poor thing. I suppose just be strong and try to make the best of it. Perhaps you could live with a friend or your parents for free while you try to sell the house. You cannot go on living together, your mental health is so much more important than saving money on a house...good luck

this is really difficult, and i'm sorry you're going through it.
are you sure this problem is a long-term thing? it could be possible that you or your partner are going through something right now?
i've never experienced this personally, but i can see how rough it must be. why did you break up? is it worth it, and is it something that can be resolved?
i suggest you have a discussion with your partner, no longer being "together" doesn't affect your ability to talk things over.
hope i helped

Seriously never stay in the same house if you are separated.I've been through this and it sounds like he found somebody else.Be strong, start doing things that you you happy, like your friends and family are the best remedy for this.Past is gone so look towards the future.Good luck

you have misplaced your root gadget. it takes a while to sense like your self lower back. attempt to have a generic recurring and allow your existence to be consumer-friendly until eventually the bluebird of happiness starts to sing on your coronary heart lower back. Cheer up, time table your self for a reliable success song-up and a lube-oil and filter out.

I knew of a couple that did this. And believe me>>>it's never a good thing for the mind. Instead of guessing what their doing. Your actually there viewing it!!! you need to do something for your own sanity. This IS NEVER a GOOD THING?????????
