Adjusting to being a LBS....

Not a fan of weed or religion, so those are both out for me. *shrug*

Subitai,

The same for me, but some hippie women have a certain appeal.

You should check out Physics Girl on YouTube. She's a bit nerdy, with just a touch of hippie, but she's d@mn cute.

Nerdy is good. I should get my daughter watching her channel. Seems like a decent choice.

Yes, it's called Bird Nesting.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, I've never heard of that before! Seems like it would work better if the two spouses had separate apartments, but I honestly can't imagine going back to that apt. and wondering who my W had there the previous week and what they were doing. And how well they cleaned up afterwards. Just seems really, I don't know, oogie!

Yah, it entails a great deal of respect. We're in a studio now, but if it looks like it might work out, I would move to a 2-bedroom so you have your own 'doin the nasty' space, in theory. I'm still in the "there appears to be no OM" space, so I'm not too worried about it in the short term. We may have a "no dating at the apartment" rule, too, we just haven't gotten everything set up for the separation agreement.

As for me, I'm not in the right space for a relationship, and I'm too old to hit the clubs looking for a 1NS.

Most of what I've seen is that it lasts anywhere from a few months to a year or two, and falls apart when somebody gets into a serious relationship and their new partner is not thrilled with sharing space with the ex.

Yeah I can definitely see that being an issue.

It will require some serious work for detaching while sharing space, but it should be easier than detaching while being in the same house.
