I have been living with my fiance for seven years. We have had our ups and downs. I love her and we have two beautiful boys. She wants to break up but wants to continue to live with me. I feel that I have to let her stay because of the boys. Now she wants us to date other people. Should I move on? She says it may help us grow closer. What is your thoughts. If I told a potential girlfriend that my ex is still living with me and explain the situation what would be the response. I know some men wouldnt care if she told them that because some guys would see that as an easy piece, no attachement.

Good luck with that one. I think if you are going to grow closer you need a cooling off period. My experience after also being in a 7 year relationship with one child was that emotions run deep and it is very difficult to shift to friend/roommate mode. You need your space. Define yourself as single before getting to the close part. This is only my opinion of course.

For me, it wouldn't jive - too close for comfort.
I would always be wondering if things would re-kindle.

Hey, I know you love her But I `ve been there and done that with my ex-husband. It aint gonna work. You are just gonna put yourself thru so much pain watchin her bring in one guy after the next. The kids will still see her no matter what. You need to move on and find someone who will really love YOU for who you really are. You deserve better.

Move on and move her out! If she wants to break free of the relationship then it needs to be a clean break. That will also be best for the kids, trust me. Also I know that I wouldn't be comfortable trying to date or start a relationship with a guy still living with his ex. Tooo much pressure there.

Well, she told you it was over. When women decide to end it, it's over. Do you live in a state that recognizes 7 yrs as being legally married? If not, then get a lawyer, and get some help supporting the kids. Since she wants out, she should help support the kids just like if you wanted out.

I am sorry to say this, but I think she wants out. She still has security with you there, but wants to move on. I am going through that right now. He cheated after 7 years, still with me for security, but looking on the side. That doesn't jive with me either Once they lose it for you, it is hard for the other to get that back.

Tried to live with my soon to be ex-wife. It didn't work. It is not worth the pain watching her bring other people into your house

Living together... Seeing other people... Making you Closer? Negative. You already know the answer to this question. If you are seeking answers that you want to hear.. Talk to your ex. You won't get them from me.
Good Luck.

She needs to grow up and quit beening so selfish and self centered. she inot a single girl she has kids to think about plus you. If you go your seperate ways play she dates someone who wont kill your kids. Alot of that going on.
