Bedroom Talk

Is this the typical living arrangement of a divorced couple still living together?

Somebody moved out of the master bedroom. They live in a different part of the house. They either live in the guest bedroom or one of the kid's old bedroom. They ignore each other. Please share what else you know. You know a divorced couple who still live together? Thanks! Christine Cox: you did not have to be so mean. No reason for that.

1. that whole thing isnt a typical arrangement. i know one couple who have done that for years though, not even divorced but he just sleeps with other women and does whatever at his side of the house. boo to crazy relationships i say.
2. Actually, a friend of mine's parents became divorced and still lived together in separate rooms of the house because they couldn't afford new places for themselves. From my own experience, my parents moved out after they announced they were going to separate. I'm not sure if it's normal for separated couples to still live together, but I know that it's not normal for divorced couples to live together. It's a bad situation to be in, as the point of divorce is to get away from each other.
3. that is very common these days with this terrible economy.
4. I've only heard of it. But it can be to the couples mutual advantage especially from a financial standpoint, and if the house was big enough arrangements/agreements could me made to the satisfaction of both.
5. well its a good idea if you haven't got the money, but ignoring each other in front of the children is childish and extremely harmful to them. Do you want them to grow up thinking that in a relationship, if it ends in divorce you should be petty ? Grow up and realise you had children together, you should at least Communicate if you're living under the same roof.
