I still live with my ex-husband. He came out as gay in 2014, and while we still are best friends, decided to divorce to give us the opportunity to live our authentic lives. We share a two-family home, as we’re co-parenting three girls who we didn’t want to have to shuffle back and forth. He lives upstairs, me downstairs and the kids rooms are scattered throughout. Actually, he spends half his time down here anyway.
Neither of us currently are seriously dating, so it works for now. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m glad he still wants to be a part of our lives.
