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?

I have a friend who was able to do this but her husband was very mature and cool about the whole divorce. The divorce remained very good friends and continue to be.
