Me and my ex broke up but cant afford to live seperately. We have one toddler together.
when Im at work, he is looking after her and vice versa. So no childcare costs. We have a house together. But if we were to sold we would not be able to own a house each especially with current living costs, mortgages etc.
we have been in separate bedrooms for months. Not sure whats going to happen when we meet somebody else.
My only hope is when we get 30 hours free childcare, then maybe we could get different jobs, prices will settled down and we will be able to live separately.
please tell me Im not the only one living with ex?
AIBU?
Anybody else living with their ex due to cost of living?

For those of you who are doing this with any level of success do you have any tips?
Do you still eat together, live from a family calender to make sure children are covered etc?
I'm in this situation for at least 6 months I think. Thankfully we have enough bedrooms but I'm just not sure how to keep it civil and make it work.

Sympathies. My OH is the same. His parents never come to visit him there. I have never stayed over there for obvious reasons and can’t stand even entering the property. People judge me for being with someone who has this set up but he’s divorced and there’s nothing dodgy and it’s actually good for the kids. And is the only way they can afford to give them the life they have. But his mental health suffers as a result, as I’m sure his ex’s does.
