We decided finally to separate only three weeks ago. Mutual, been a long time coming.
H signed up to online dating within a couple of days of us separating and has now been seeing someone, and spent nearly 24 hours with her from yeserday afternoon. He didn't tell me he wasn't coming home and I've spent the day feeling furious with him that he didn't have the courtesy to tell me. I know he's now single and free to do what he wants, but I'm finding it very difficult him being in the house at the same time as me now. We've got my one adult DC living at home with us and it's embarassing and awkward for them to witness all of this. My DC didn't know that things were bad and that we were going to split up .
The chances are that we won't sell the house until April at the earliest- and that's if we're lucky, so do any of you who've been through this have any tips on how to survive it? Today was horrible, and I've asked him in future to let me know if/when he's not going to be there. We are still running the house as before to keep things simple but the atmosphere is horrible. I need to be strong!

If you're having to live with STBexH whilst selling your house, how are you coping?

I wish my STBXH would meet someone, fall in love and move in with her! It would solve the issue of living in the same house.

Just checking on over three months later to see how everyone is?

I'm still in the house with STBXH, who for the last two months has nowbeen with someone else (no idea who, and he's giving nothing away), but is unfortunately still living in our house. We sold the house, finally, a month ago so should hopefully only have another couple of months to go before we can move. I am counting the days. It's been truly horrible but I think I can see, or at least imagine, the light at the end of the tunnel now... Hope you're all OK 🤗
