I don't think it is a good idea.

It's a difficult call.
If there's a possibility that your problems could be resolved and you can stay together as partners, it might be worth the risk.
If there's no possibility of resolving your problems and there are still emotions between you, it could hinder both of you from moving on emotionally.
If there's no possibility of resolution and there are no emotions between you, it will become difficult and weird when one or both of you start dating again.
My recommendation is to not live together UNLESS you both desire to work on your relationship and give it another go.

bad idea. I did this my self once. My ex and me were good friends and I thought what the heck, lets just be roommate, we know each other, we like each other so It should work. It was so bad by the end of the year we barely talked to each other. Jealousy issues on his part and mine (it is pretty uncomfortable to hear your ex getting busy with another guy) and then every time we had a argument about domestic issues we would go back to issues of our relationship, "that is why our relationship didn't work, you were always lazy!" I swear! awful. I know everybody is different and maybe your relationship is different but base on my own experience it is a bad idea.

Nope. Never a good idea. There are too many factors that enter into living together and a broken romance is one of the worst ones.

That usually doesn't lead to a good place. It is healthy if you two can remain friends. But when you bring other people around there may be jealousy, hurt feelings, envy, etc. I would avoid this is possible.

Maybe for the short term so neither of you winds up on the street, but since you didn't get along before there is no reason to think you can do it as roommates. The problems will still be there regardless of what you call yourselves.

No I don't think its a good idea either. One day he might get in the 'mood' and give you a mixed message. I just think its in your best interest not to be roommates. Trust me. You want to avoid an awkward situation.

I'd be uncomfortable dating a woman that lived with her ex.

My best friend did it and it DID not work. Not to say that it wouldn't work in your situation, but I think it is a recipe for disaster.

No... even though he does not have ill intent. Still it may hurt one of you if one of you is seeing someone. You'll feel controlled too.

It would help to save on the rent but it's what you think that counts.
