    Nah. Vastly overrated. All the fun's gone now the marriage is an actuality.. Do a runner and start off somewhere else under a different name. Start again. I have been doing this for 45 years.

    I'm usually pretty quick, but I have no idea what in the name of Ben and Jerry this means.

    I think someone was using talk to text on their phone and posted it here.

    My house would be cleaner, the bread would be fresher, the towels wouldn't be found in the garage with car grease all over them... if we didn't live together after marriage... :wink:

    only if we're still allowed to do the hibbity-bibbity

    Do you get to do it AFTER if you don't do it during? I mean we've been consistently doing it every 6th Tuesday of the month for about 10 years now......I don't have blue balls, mine are a flourescent glowing aqua.

    Yea. I'm *this* close to kicking the husband out.


    He snores and steals the covers. That's grounds for divorce.

    One acronym - CPAP. Won't help with the blanket situ, but we wouldn't still be living together after marriage if he hadn't finally started using one:noway:

    I lived with my Ex for about 3 months after I ended the relationship, and I was dating the guy I left him for. He hated my guts, but I didn't care-- He treated the cats better than he treated me while we were still 'together.' We weren't married, but we had been together for just over 5 years, and living together for 4.

    I would have moved out right away, but it was a nice apartment, and he and our room mate had to get good enough jobs to take over the rent without me (I was the breadwinner of the household).

    I think yes --especially if you don't do it during.

    I think divorce rates are high because people move in together after marriage!

    I think you need to take a look at the relationship between divorce rates and the prevalence of couples living together before marriage. You will find exactly the opposite of what you have described.

    Such a bad idea. I know many people who have lived together after marriage and a number of them are now divorced, paying child support, and/or entirely jaded about the idea of post-marital cohabitation.

    Clearly, it is a direct cause of divorce and family tragedy. Think of the children!

    And then you have to realize that people who are against "living in sin" are also more likely to not believe in divorce, so the statistics are completely irrelevant.

    Wait... Have only, like, 3 people understood that this thread is about living with your Ex after the divorce or breakup?

    I can't say that I know anyone personally that lived together after the divorce. IMO, I would just think the drastic shift in moods and emotions would make the environment stressful. Also, how would it work when one person wanted to start dating. Talk about awkward!

    I know a couple of people who had to do this post divorce due to finances or their house not selling quick enough. Talk about misery!

    Umm, I don't believe the statistics would be irrelevant but that other factors (such as those who are against "living in sin") may explain why someone may get divorced regardless of whether they lived together prior to marriage. I think this is what you are saying. And I don't know the evidence is for these other factors or what their coefficients are - but if you have some articles I would be happy to read them to make an assessment. And I do realize this thread is about living with someone post divorce.
