Along the same lines, it took SO long to sell my house in this dismal housing market that my fiance and I STRONGLY considered just buying my ex out so as not to take a bath on the transaction. But we mutually decided that since both of us were bringing children into the new relationship that we didn't want any hint of "this isn't your house, it's my house" and all that, that we dumped it and found a new place where all the kiddos have their own space and they love it.
Rest assured, blended families require lots of adjustments, but hey, love finds a way.
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
