[quote=Anonymous]My parents divorced when I was in elementary school. They remained living together in the home - I have to assume only due to financial constraints - though in separate bedrooms and on different ends of the house. We did everything together growing up, but my mother would insist on never sitting in the same row in a car as my father or next to him at school events so as not to cause confusion as to the dissolution of their marriage. Roughly 30 years later they are still living this strange limbo of roommates. I think this has been hardest on my father who for no great reason other than he is a good man (mother has unresolved mental health issues that led to the divorce itself) still loves my mother. However, they remain roommates today and that  provides them some comfort particularly during a pandemic when there is a built in support system. In sum, my parents are - at least on the surface - still happy with this living arrangement though it is certainly not for every couple.[/quote]
