my parents were together until i was 24. They separated, not a divorce or anything dragged out and bad. My situation is very weird and people dont understand it and i dont blame them but it works. I would feel the same way others do if they viewed my situation. But my mom moved, there was just alot she couldn't take, my dad helped alot and after a while he even moved into the same building, he lives 2 floors down. We spend holidays together, he comes upstairs alot, she is always downstairs. They help eachother alot, if my dad needs financial help my mom is there and vice versa.
FH doesnt come from a broken home, his parents have been married 30 years, have a great relationship. His mom taught CCD classes, his dad was always into baseball and both his parents were a big part of him playing baseball as a kid. They are the all american family with an italian twist hahaha. Eat dinner together all the time, do things together.
yes i do, in so many ways.........you name, it has happened.

Espo I don't think your parent's situation is weird at all. I think that if a lot of separated/divorce parents did this (well except live in the same building...lol) it would be ideal for a lot of children.

I don't think this is weird, I think it is decent and fair.
You are very blessed to have them be so amicable.
I do

WEIRD - my parents did the same thing! They were together but unhappy until about 5 years ago. My dad moved out, to an apartment 5 minutes away and they stayed friends and never divorced. Then my mom got sick and my dad was really good to her, and now they like each other more than ever. He moved to another apartment literally down the block from my mom, and we all spend holidays together like a big happy family. Except at the end, my dad walks down the street to his own place.
Hey, it works for them!

My parents and FH's parents both got married in 1974 and are going strong
My Mom and Dad have gone through rough patches, but worked hard at it and now things are great.
Since I moved out, they are always making out and chasing eachother around, and pinching butts.
Its a little gross, but great at the same time![]()
