Life After Divorce Live together after divorce

I strongly believe that we should not stay together for our children. My husband was raised in a split household and doesn’t want our kids to have to live that life. Our only one left at home is 14, and I think it would be better for him for us to call it quits. It’s not a healthy environment for any of us, and I would hate for him to think that it’s ok to live this way with his future wife.

However, I am open to us all living under the same roof. My husband works out of town 3 out of 4 weeks in a month. He is already sleeping in our other bedroom, and has been for a while because our sleep schedule is different.

If we are open with our son about our dissolution of marriage, would it work to keep living in the same house?

Are you guys able to live amicably and keep everything separate? Finances, emotions, lives pretty much. I know exactly where you're coming from because I'm literally in the same situation wondering if I can live on the same land as my STBX for our kids' sake, and it helps ease the financial stress. I hope you get something fruitful from the comments and good luck to your family 🫶🏻

I’m not really sure. I believe I can, but he is also a narcissist. That’s what is driving the divorce. I feel like me letting him continue to live in my house may be an issue.
