You've been living in the same house with your ex for nearly 2 years!?
That sounds atrocious.
I managed 3 weeks with my ex while he found a new place and it was awful.
Do you have separate living space at least?
Can't he move in with his parents/family?

It's no wonder you're stressed. 2 years is a long time to live with an ex. I did that for 8 months and it was trying. The ability to heal and grow is greatly hindered.

I think the best ways are to take it one day at a time, be sure you set boundaries, know this is temporary, and to plan something nice/fun when all is done and dusted to celebrate. At least this is how I do it.
