Sounds awkward and uncomfortable. I lived with an ex for a couple months after breaking up, so I know that can be difficult. But we didn't share a bed at that point and I can only imagine the level of weirdness that brings to it all.

That definitely sounds like an issue to deal with. Are you living together until the lease ends, or until one of you finds something else?

I mean, hmmm, that does not sound good.

Do you have multiple bedrooms, so you can at least sleep apart? I know it sounds.....kinda weird, but you could also make up the living room as a seperate bedroom if you absolutely had to. I don't think sleeping in the same bed is a great idea if you are planning on not being together.

Even a step further, you could rent out one of the bedrooms, and then rent a room in another house (or he could), to equal out the cost, and not have to actually live in the same place. If he is going to date that is really gonna suck before long.

You could also list the house (ugh I know), for enough to cover the costs you have spent at this point, might take awhile to sell, but if you use redfin etc and avoid realtors fees (you can only pay 1% that way) and if your state doesn't charge much in taxes, you might be able to walk away without much loss that way.

I get being really good friends moving forward, but...well, you probably shouldn't have to live with him while he's dating other girls (or him having to live with you while your dating guys), that is just gonna hurt you both a bunch.

Sorry your in this situation:(

Same. But I'm too sad to say maybe he should sleep in the other room. I don't want to let go but I know I should. It's just emotionally hard for me.

I understand. Perhaps you both need a clean break though. I can't imagine it's easy sharing the same house with a ex nevermind a bed.

Do you have to live in your house? You can get a management company to rent it for you for about $200 a month, and you can often rent your home for more then the cost of taxes + mortgage + the $200 (that is what we did with the house in WA before we moved here).

It just about evens out everything, but your slowly making money if the value of the home goes up, and it could give you both options for the next 5 years instead of having to co-habitat. It's not perfect, but as long as your not restricted from renting (by that grant or an HoA agreement) it could work.

Also possibly using it as an AB&B could work as well, but yeah, I get all of that is big changes and hard to deal with right now.

I mean, I'm not moving. I only have two years to finish my masters degree and then I'm trying to leave the country. I bought this house in good faith, he didn't. If he wants to move, he can. And he can pay his half of the mortgage and rent.

Idk we just haven't stopped yet. We have an extra room with a bed made up and everything. Neither of us has brought it up. But like he sleeps as far away from me as humanly possible now.

Oh. That sucks. If I had to guess, I would say he would probably go see them in public, or at their place. It would be awkward to bring the home, of course. And kind of a dick move. I've heard of exes living together after a break-up, and it's always weird when they bring home a date. One guys even said when he ex would go on a date, he's hide all the pictures of them together so the date wouldn't see.

Jen0125 posted...

Maybe so he doesn't roll over and accidentally cuddle. That could be a possibility.

The extra room sounds like a good idea. Though, I understand the apprehension. It's sort of makes it more "real", I guess. Like it starts to really feel like it's over at that point. Though, tbh, sharing a bed isn't the worst thing. I've shared many a bed before...

I mean, theres only so much she can do. Besides, she didnt go into a house trying to manipulate another person in having a baby. So, why should she have to pay off half a house just to move out and not live there until she goes to probably Korea?

Firstly I'm not saying she should be the one who has to move out but if you really can't make him move is being petty worth being emotionally miserable for 2 years? As far as I know she hasn't even talked to him about it especially if they are still sleeping in the same bed but as much as it feels nice to have that routine fallback of being with someone thats comfortable, it's clearly not healthy and the longer she waits to deal with it, the worse it's going to be.

I mean, it's not my business but I was just hoping she'd really think if staying there with him is something she wants. It's not like a week, it's 2 whole years and some of the better ones of your life.

Possibly. But it depends. I mean, AFAIK, they are both on the lease. So, they are both responsible for the house. While he could buy her part of the house, letting her off the hook, he might not want to. And he doesn't legally have to. And honestly, It would suck to have to pay for a house you don't live in.

As for how healthy it is, I can't say. I've never lived with an ex, let alone an SO. But I think some can live comfortably together for at least a while. Though, they usually don't share the same bed, since they usually both move on. It depends on how well they can deal with it. I know some couples that were fine, and even dated, while living with their ex. It's not always the best, but it can work... sort of...

Sometimes, the options are limited and you have to pick the best choice out of a bunch of stinkers and hope it works. Though, it should only hopefully be two years before she can leave. Though, since the house in both their names, they would have to change that. Maybe in two years, they could refinance it so she can get off the lease...

I mean this ignores the part where they haven't talked about this. The guy still seems like a pretty nice guy. Theres a good chance he would be willing to work something out that either has him move out or her getting out of the lease.

If she can't bear to sleep alone how is she supposed to heal up in that kind of environment?

I think he would try to work it out. But I guess it depends on if he can afford it or not... I know that's why a few married couples on base had to stay in the same house for a little while...
