Have you broke up with some one and had to live with them?

If yes, how did that work out for you?

    11 months. at the time was in college and moving back with the parents would have caused me to lose my financial aid.

    I did for 3 months, but it was 4 years after we have split. I had had a house fire and she had recently been widowed. I had my own room, got to see my daughter, had all my meals cooked & washing done & she got paid by the insurance company. Win win situation all round.

    Yes, several years ago. I only lasted a month and it was by far the most difficult period of my life. It's good you have a deadline and somewhere to go. Hang in there, stay with friends if you need a break :)

    No, can't imagine that to be a comfortable situation.

    Never had and even when I was in a relationship, I never lived with him or even spent a night ever.

    But I was advise you to just keep to yourself in the mean time. I know it must be hard, but April will be here before you know.

    To those who've experienced this, good job staying strong in this situation. I am fortunate that we're trying to be civil and we do have a deadline set for April. It's just weird because we try to hang out cuz we're living together. Who knows what'll happen til then.

    I'm living with my ex now & we've been apart for 6 months.

    He could quite happily keep living here but I'm at the stage now where I'm over it & him. This weekend I've decided to sit down & have a chat with him. The place is mine so it's him that has to move.

    I want to move on with my life, we get on well but it's still not right to be living with an ex. I'm ready to meet new guys now & he's cramping my style lol

    Hang in there Kaz. Luckily, we will not be trapped together for that long but I think right now, we're still having our arguments about the issues we had that caused the break up. We're being civil about things. I still help her out with her out and we talk. we just don't sleep together.

    Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
