What's have you done to make it easier?

[Louie26]

So i am separating from my husband but currently we will need to live in the same house,
We have two children (1 bio his)

What have you done to make things easier?
And any advise on what to do next? I never thought I'd be going through this so any help or ideas would be appreciated

Any tips anyone???

We shared the house for about 10 months. Initially we both just had separate bedrooms but it was hard going as if found myself still doing all the household things and picking up after him. It was easier once we chunked out time with the kids (eg five days about) and then the one who wasn't with the kids went and stayed elsewhere.

We found it much much easier to get on, co parent, and live our lives once we stopped trying to live together. Workout a time line so you know how long you will be doing it for, an end point helps when you are having to put up with a lot of shit, schedule who has the kids when so you can get some free time to get out the house and do things for you, and be really clear on who is buying/paying for what.

If your ex is like mine he will be on Tinder in a matter of days, instantly have a girlfriend and sort of move out by default. Once it got to the point where he was never really staying there and never wanted the kids on his time I asked for his key and that was that.
