I have been thinking about this for some time as a sort of idea
sometimes I am looking for a similar story/situation online, not found it yet
so here goes

is it possible to live together as friends ?
both persons are not interested in relationships anymore , been there , done that , so past it...

no romantic interest whatsoever from both sides one female and one male

this is a serious question so only serious answers

Sure, It will give you a better point of view of seeing that person as a person, not a sex.

It's possible, but there will always be things you won't talk about with each other. Past events or situations where one person might have done something not so nice to the other. Also, there is a reason or reasons you broke up, those reasons might prevent you from living together amicably.

As long as he doesn't come knocking on your bedroom door sometime when he's broken up with his girl.

I agree with Katestar. There would have to be an agreement from the start to avoid repeating past differences as much as possible. That might be a bigger challenge than the sex issue. Certainly it is possible and the two people would have to at least like each other even though they are now just platonic roommates. However, I don't think it would work for most people.

Sure it is possible, many people do that. As long as you both are really clear that this is strictly platonic, it should be fine. Make sure before you move in together that you try to work out all the kinks, things like respecting each others space/bedrooms, if one person is going to cook or you are each going to take care of that for yourself, not being noisy after a certain time, all those little petty things that turn into a big deal when they happen. Good luck.
