So my DH and I have agreed after almost 10 years of marriage and 2 kids that our relationship is dead. I came to this conclusion a few years ago but in the hope things might improve or change I stayed. We are not attracted to each other and definitely don't love each other in that way. We get on great and co parent well together so we are considering staying in same house to makes things easier and fairer for kids.
Had anyone tried this? Does it work it is this a mad notion?

I haven't been in that situation but a close friend of mine has. They were able to get along as close friends and parents but just slept in different rooms, that was the only difference. This worked fine until one of them decided they wanted to start seeing other people. If you're living together then you don't really get to move on so I wouldn't advise it x

Thanks
Yeah I get you. We are both in our 40s and ready to move on. We talked about it and when it happens we can deal with it but atm I think we could continue as we are. Just wondering if I am living in a fantasy land thinking we can get on for the foreseeable future: would love to hear from anyone who tired it.
