AIBU to still be living with dh but divorcing

[Lincoln990]

Started divorce process in Feb but still living with dh as he has nowhere to go (family living abroad).
Just wondring how many others are in this situation?

Just wanted to add its amicable so not too awkward still living under the same roof (no dv or danger involved).

I can't think of anything worse, but if it works for you it's no one else's business.

We did this as neither of us could afford to move out before finances were settled, and then had to wait for house to sell. Was hideous but we survived (18 months..). Divorce came through the same day we moved out.

I did and an otherwise amicable divorce turned bitter v quickly

I can't think of anything worse. But it's between you and your H to decide if it can or can't' work.

Just bear in mind that other issues might come up - dating, childcare, finances etc. All of which should probably be nailed down upfront so that there aren't any surprises in 6 months time when he can't understand why you'd be upset that he brings a woman home/stops paying his share of the bills etc.

I did and like a pp says it turned bitter very quickly. If there's absolutely no other option you'll have to but it's certainly not ideal.

It's not unusual or unreasonable but it can lead to arguments and resentment due to proximity and awkwardness.

My male cousin did this but the divorce took so long that she had another man’s baby while living with him, and he used to look after the baby !
When she finally moved out it was to live with the baby’s father.
However she was respectful in that the new man never came to the house when he was there.

Yes I did this but for different reasons and he spent the 6-9 months lining up my replacement. He went on a couple of romantic trips abroad during this time which gave me a break but annoyed me at the same time.

I think PP are right and you should discuss now what you are willing to accept/not accept in terms of dating, bringing dates home etc (at least my ex never did that).

@FippertyGibbett wow!
