My H is still living at home. Mostly for financial reasons I think because although he is there, he's just not there. He speaks to the kids, but he doesn't speak to me. We communicate mostly through email which is strange.
My C thinks that it might even be better if we weren't in the same house, but that's not financially possible. As with most American's we couldn't realistically afford a second living space. Although I understand that some MLC'ers don't pay much attention to reality and get their own place anyway. Sometimes I can see my H doing that.
If there is anyone out there who has a spouse living at home? I would love to hear some advice for how to deal. Do you think it is actually easier if he or I moved to the guest room? We've been trying to keep all this from the kids and that would definitely cause a lot of questions.
The situation also makes doing own things a little more awkward because I feel like I can't just go out and do things like a single person would. I feel that I have to check in with his weekend plans etc. I think I am getting past feeling of awkwardness as time goes on.
Warmest regards,
