My ex-husband and I divorced, but we didn't separate

My ex-husband and I divorced, but we didn't separate, and here is a new man on the doorstep!" - Janne shares. Edward and I lived in an official marriage for five years, before that, and almost the same amount of time just like that," says Janne. "And all this time, he promised me mountains of gold, dealing with all kinds of projects. Here, a little more, and we will live! We did not live in poverty anyway: we lived in my apartment, I earned my own money for bread and butter and even caviar, but, of course, I would like to have financial participation from Edward, but he still did not exist... At first, I believed, then I began to doubt and swear, but the cart still did not move from the dead center.

I got pregnant and decided to give birth at my own risk. I do not regret, of course, that my son is a miracle! And Yegor surprisingly turned out to be a wonderful father; he put all his soul and free time into his son. Almost a perfect dad. If not for one "but" - money. He never had any. Or rather, there were, but not where it was needed. Either he invested in some business that "was about to take off", or rather, they were, but not where it was needed. Either he invested in some business that "was about to shoot", but for some reason it never worked. Then he took another loan for a "super-profitable scheme", and as a result, the debts only grew. I dragged my family alone until I got tired. Divorced. It would seem to be a full stop – but no... Janne never thought that she would find herself in such a situation and become one of the growing numbers of divorced parents. But she could not come to terms with the money problems and debts that her husband created all the time. Okay, she is not the first, she is not the last. Yes, it didn't work out, yes, I made mistakes, but now everything is over, I can breathe out. But the ex-husband has not gone anywhere. And how? He has no money to rent a house. His parents are far away. There is nowhere to go. It is even more convenient for Janne and the child this way. Yegor sits with his son, takes him to kindergarten, walks, studies, and at least leads a household, cooks, cleans, and washes things. Janne works, builds a career, can stay if necessary, or go manic.

Linger if necessary or go to a manicure without nerves. "We live like neighbors," says Janne. "Edward is in the nursery on the sofa, and I am in our former bedroom. From time to time, he asks "on credit"; he has to give it back every other time. Sometimes he earns some small pennies himself. I see that he buys toys for his son and takes something to the table. So we live day after day, and we are already used to it. Relations have become even better. We used to argue all the time, and after the divorce, I stopped scolding him; he no longer needed to make excuses. And the child is happy; he still lives with his beloved daddy. From the outside, I agree, everything looks strange, but from the inside it is pretty good... Everything went as usual until six months ago, when Janne met Anthony. Anthony is a serious, reliable man with a stable and well-paying job. He keeps his word and does not promise too much. And as a man-woah! Janne at first thought that this was just a light romance, without obligations. And then she suddenly realized that she did not want to be without him. He doesn't want to at all. Anthony does not know about Edward. "She said that she was divorced, and her son sees his father on weekends. Well, about the fact that we are in the same apartment... I don't understand how to open my mouth. At first, somehow, I did not plan to initiate Anthony into my life at all.

Well, you can't say it right away: "You know, my ex-husband lives in my house here, but don't worry, he's just like a nanny." That's funny... Anthony offers to get acquainted with his son, there, perhaps, to move in. To become a family. This means that the ex must leave. But he has nowhere to go. And if he leaves, who will take his son to kindergarten? Who will take you to extracurricular activities or sit on sick leave? Janne is even afraid to imagine settling down in life without Edward. Anthony clearly won't mess with someone else's son so much. And will he have a relationship with the boy? Not a fact. Theoretically, Anthony says that he does not mind, but it is one thing to talk about and another to live with it every day. On the other hand, will she always be like this with her ex in the apartment? He slows her down, keeps her in the past. As long as he is around, she cannot go further, no matter how hard she tries to convince herself that everything is fine. Everything was convenient, but now it is no longer convenient. Now you have to choose. But who? What would you do if you were Janne? Is it worth risking the new happiness, or is it better to preserve the old order for the sake of convenience?
