Hi,
I split up with DP and dad of my 2DDs a few months ago. We'd been together 10 years. Own a house together.
Obviously it's been v sad but compared to others not horrific - we aren't ripping each other apart.
We are going to be living together for a few months at least while we save for / work out the next step. We are in separate rooms but did agree to have some family time together as kids don't yet know what's happening (until we know future living arrangements).
I did think we should keep money entwined for as long as we are living together but having second thoughts on that due to him being more of a spender than me and him now dating other women.
I think its easy to assume the other person thinks the same as you but im realising thats not the case. For eg when he's on a date he won't really engage on text (for eg if on a day date won't confirm if he'll be back for bedtime which surprised me - i only text what i think is essential stuff).
What rules did people put in place when living together after a relationship? On dating, finances Etc?
