Anne I know a couple that did just that and quite successfully too thank you very much. There relationship ended but they remained very mature and quite good friends. She lived upstairs and they converted their basement into a living area for the man. They had shared responsibilities with their daughter and were both very active in raising her. This worked out very well for over 7 years and then they both got their own places to live but continue to this day to be best of friends and have even gone out to functions together and brought along their significant others. Sad that this type of example doesn't occur more often but it just doesn't. What a wonderful way to show as an example to kids that adults can be mature and still care for one and other even though they no longer are a couple.

We're in the process of divorce, and don't agree on much of anything. We live in the same house, take care of the same children, but we are hardly a family. There will be an end to it sometime, but in the mean time, I just can't abandon my kids. Aside from a few snarky emails, we don't fight. In fact, we don't even talk to each other unless it's absolutely necessary. I wish that we were modeling better behavior for our children, but we're not. There's not much to be done about it though, except wait.

hear of it often, but never works, confuses kids, better off being great friends living apart
