Wow, that would totally suck! I think there are a lot of people holding off on getting divorced because they can't afford to get divorced. But to get divorced and still live together?

My grandparents did that.

What's the difference? It's still two people who don't particularly like each other living together.
I think it makes good sense, why let your finances go in the crapper over the end of a relationship? :shrug:

My ex and I couldn't even live together while we were married much less once we were divorced! I do know of people who get along great now that they are divorced and that's got to be a whole lot easier!

I don't think they're doing it because it's fun.
Sometimes ya just gotta suck it up and do what is practical, which is what I think the point of the piece was.

My grandparents did it because she knew he couldn't survive without her. They got divorced in 76 and lived together, in seperate beds til his death in 98.

I guess that really depends on how much a couple hates one another. I can see where it makes sense financially but when I think of being "stuck" with my Ex in a house, I think I'd strangle either myself or him.
I guess that I don't see a point in getting a divorce if I still have to live with the guy. But to each his own, whatever works for them.

But you have to ask yourself, if you were in their situation where they couldn't sell the house because of the decline in home values, would you just walk away and let the house go into foreclosure and wreck your credit, or would you suck it up and try not to murder each other for the greater good in the end?

There is no way I'd have been able to do that. Somebody would have eventually ended up stabbed or shot.

This may work for some people, but not for me. It really depends on the reason for the relationship failing, I guess. Why bother to get a divorce when they still plan to live together? It's confusing for their kids & could certainly cause issues in new relationships or stop them from moving on to a healthy new relationship. Money/credit aren't everything, although I'm thankful my credit score is really good or hubby & I wouldn't have this house.
My ex-fiance has anger mgmt/control issues, which is why I ended our relationship & called off the wedding. There's no way in hell I would have lived with him after leaving, whether we owned a home together or not. Luckily, I didn't marry him & we hadn't purchased a home yet as planned. So that made it a lot easier for me. As it was, I dealt with 2 yrs of stalking & threats after I left him even after I had moved out of state. Live with him? No way!
My hubby's Ex is a psycho. During the last few months before he left her & filed for divorce, he slept in the guest room with a dresser in front of the door because he was worried that she'd kill him in his sleep. She then tried to run him over with her truck in their front yard. No amount of money or saving his credit was worth living with her. His credit did suffer for a while because of the divorce but he's still alive & now has a much happier life.

Don't I know it!
I hope that if you find yourself in a similar situation that you're able to get along with the Ex. That just wouldn't have been possible in my past relationship. Too much resentment & too many emotional issues there.
