What housing arrangements does your ex have?

Do they rent a house out? Do they share a house with other people?

I have been doing lots of sums regarding the finances of separation. Absolutely frightening. Obviously it would be cheaper to live in a shared house but wouldn't this make having my LB over tricky - although not impossible.
On the other hand, I could rent a small 1 or 2 bedroom house out.

Does your ex share a house? Do they have a 1 bedroom house and share the bedroom? Or are they in a poky bedsit?

It is cr*p - by trying to develop a place of my own to have my son come over too, there is less money available to support him in both houses. Or I could sacrifice this and enable him to have a decent upbringing with his mum.

Experiences welcome.

my ex lives in a 2 bed place that he shares with his wife and his mil. our dd's when they sleep over are sleeping on an air bed in the front room. the kids hate sleeping there as they have complained of a horrible draft that whips down their chimney and makes a scary noise. let alone create a draft. would it be wrong if the dds asked him to sacrifice the marital bed just for one night???

what galls me the most is that his 2 bed place was a council house that he got on a mortgage. that he married and moved straight into...

while i am stuck in private rent that i could never afford if i went back to work properly.

oh well, they are warm and cared for...and i guess thats the most important thing.
but he had a hol in the maldives in july. hes heading off to egypt tomorrow with wifey...youd think they could at least afford a camp bed for them both?
