Family Forum / Marriage / Divorce / January 2006

Probably possible, but not necessarily practical.

I can understand wanting to stay in the same home for those reasons...
but my first thought would be why separate if you can get along well enough to
continue sharing a home?
Be sure and try to anticipate the complications that may come up, especially
if either of you decides to date other people.

Why not?  But if you can tolerate each other's presence, maybe you're a
good candidate for marriage counseling.  I mean, I don't know your
situation, but avoid divorce if you can.

I have a friend who married, had a child, then decided that he couldn't
stand being married.  They divorced but still live together to this
day. They date separately and sometimes each other. It seems to work
for them.

It would never work for me, but then again, my ex has threatened to
kill me and has been diagnosed as insane.
