Reason for the move together

I have been trying for ages to get whats in my head down here but it is harder that I thought.

The gf and me are splitting up because what we had is no longer there even though we do try also we have figured out that we are two very different people and it has come to the time where we just can't go on like we are now.

As readers of this blog you will be already aware of the ups and downs we have had and being bias I have probably put more of the bad times down as it has been a release to me. We have had great times but it always seem so much hard work to get there or we have got there through the end of a bad time and have not kept the good time going falling back in to the badness.

On Wednesday night when I tried to cuddle her and she turned round and said "We are splitting up, I can't do this to us anymore" I was first partly upset but then it felt like a burden had been lifted. We briefly discussed moving on etc but it was late so we went to sleep.

The next morning things seemed the same but they weren't and we knew it. We talked on the phone once I was at work and discussed what we should do next. I thought about me getting my place and having my bachelor pad and all the good times were coming, but then I thought deeper. I wanted a place so that my son could have a garden to run around in, I want to see him when ever I wanted but without him having to be passed from post to post. I don't want the ex-gf to have to find a tacky/hovel of a place to live in that she could barely afford, with no garden etc for my son. So I decided that we should all move to the new house, even though it is renting, as this was we all get what we want and need.

We are not splitting up because of anything bad, ie there is no infidelity. We still get along like friends and we get to see our son anytime we want.

The house is three bed roomed, garden, lounge, separate dinning room. So there is plenty of space for us all.

We will share the lounge, dinning room, kitchen, bathroom and my son and ex-gf will have their room each on the first floor and I will have the spare room on the top floor. I know this seems strange and I haven't actually heard of anyone else doing it, but hey why not try something new, it might catch on.

I do have my reservations about this working, like, what happens if we start dating people, do we bring them back or not, will I/she get jealous of the partner. What happens if one of us wants to move out. Will this effect my son in anyway???

I have already mentioned the no strangers rule to the ex-gf and I know they count to be as well, when I mean no strangers I mean no one night stands, I don't need my son to get confused with the comings and goings of strange men and women in the house.

What I do know is that it will be strange to begin with but I think i will be able to cope with it, it means i get more free time to mess around with my games consoles and watch what I want to watch for a change on TV.

Well my fingers are crossed for this to work as if finding a place hasn't been hard enough already
