Can't afford to live apart!
| Wed, 08-23-2006 - 10:11pm |
Has anyone had the problem of not being able to afford living apart? We want a divorce, but my STBX has no place to move to, and he can't afford an apartment of his own. We are living in an apartment now with our two children. We have been living like roomates for years now anyway, so we are thinking of just getting the divorce and still living together until our financial options change (that could be a year or two!)
What the heck do I do???
TIA,
Robyn

I lived with my then-STBX while we were divorcing until our house sold... but there was a pretty immediate end in sight because once we sold our house, we had the equity to pay off joint debt and move to our own places.... and all of that happened before our divorce was finalized.
Maybe your husband can look for a roommate to share rent.... or move in with a family member????

Robyn,
I live w/STBX and we are working the living part out well, better than when we were married. It has been a battle, but so far so good since we made some rules. Neither one of can afford to live apart. If your relationship is friendly it may work for awhile until you can get on your feet. Not everyone is having a "friendly" divorce though. IT isnt easy, but for our kids we are doing OK. I know alot of ppl in our situation, but they are in nasty divorces and it is stressful. Hopefully all will work out for you.
