We aren't twisting a thing. We are calling as we are seeing it. Count it as a lesson learned for some of us who have been through this.
Not bitter, but experienced. Sorry that some refuse to look it from another point of view.
To be fair, some people were making unfounded assumptions (such as she already has another beaux). Still, the part that has me shaking my head is her claim that she's doing it "for him" even though he doesn't want her to leave. Sorry carlitasway, that's weak sauce. You're doing it for yourself so own your decision.

I agree. If it was for him, he'd do it already. The other man didn't cross my mind.
That boils down to making all sorts of excuses to justify their actions.
stan4, seeniorita and stepka have all given very personal firsthand accounts of how hard co-habitating after a divorce can be - a realty that cannot be discounted or ignored.
Going back to my first post, I mentioned how the couple I knew who did this had a specific time frame.
I think that was one reason they were able to live together successfully - there was light at the end of the tunnel and both could see the day they would live in separate households. I wouldn't think you'd want to volunteer for this kind of arrangement longer than 6 months, and 3 would probably be better.
We broke up May 5. We were planning on leaving the city by the end of June...how much more defined could it be?! Still a nightmare. She actually wound up leaving mid-June...thank god.
What the heck are intimate issues anyway? To me it's simply one way or the other; you either love someone and so naturally you want to be intimate with them or you don't/no longer love them and do not want to be intimate with them. All this talk of loving someone but cannot be intimate with them doesn't make much sense to me..

It's like you love them but you don't looooooooooove them.
I think it is hard to live with someone you love and wouldn't mind reconciling with. I think it even more hard when you have kids involved. Still you do what you got a do. If both people set boundaries from the onset. I personally wouldn't do it because when u have emotions involved and someone is moving on with life faster than the other is comfortable with then allot of things can happen. If it's over deal with with now and move on. It simpler for the kids too. Good luck to the OP
