Would you date someone still living with their ex?

I've seen it happen. Live in relationships ending but someone meets another person before the final curtain. It's messy but it happens occasionally.

Don't date people who have exes, they may be tempted while you are away

Don't date anyone, they may be tempted while you are away




I dated one person while they were still living with their ex. It was a bit complicated, but it was fine.

Two examples just on this page of people who survived this situation.

One issue that I saw when my ex and I both tried to start dating before we resolved the housing situation...

Which, interestingly, can also be a problem in poly (open) relationships at times...

...is when one of the (ex-)partners finds it much easier to get someone new or others willing to date them. If one person enjoys more success in dating than the other, then it can be a source of more negativity and ill feelings and strain in the household. And it can be made worse by the fact that people who were married a while might not be in the habit of keeping things from one another, so too much disclosure just makes it worse.
