Linda 17/365


This is the house I live in. It's roomy, and there's more in the back
-- a huge sunroom, swimming pool, 2 big storage barns -- all sitting
on 6 acres. However, there is still not enough space. After 2 months
of trying, it's clear that living together is not working for either
one of us. I'm really bummed.

Beautiful house!! Sorry to hear things aren't working out :(

Oh Linda. I am sorry - This sounds kind of crazy but is there a way you guys could build on an "addition" for you? You could live next to each other but not WITH each other?

I know how much you love him and want this to work - I am just wondering if something could be worked out that you could live side by side...and not together.

I like Dawn's idea. I've seen the love you have for each other over the past year of photos. I know you'll find a way to make this work. ((hug))

Ohhhhhh. Did you just hear my heart crash? You two are nutsy about each other - something will work out. I just know it will. I've often thought that if my ex husband and I had lived next door to each other, we'd still be married. The divorce was tragic. Yet, I'm the happiest I've ever been. None of our business, but is it simply a space issue or a sharing space issue. After only three years I don't think I could share my space with some one. Nonetheless - I'm hoping so hard for you two. xoxo

Oh Linda that sucks! How long is the lease on your house? I hope this isn't a relationship ender. Maybe you need a mother-in-law apartment like's been suggested.
Much love!

I'm a person who likes to have space of her own and privacy - and though my house is roomy, I never really had a place to seek downtime til we put our addition on... Sometimes we need space - even from the people we love.

Ohhh this makes me sad. I draw so much strength from the love you two share and the happiness I saw in your eyes due to that love.I really hope some miracle happens .. a lightbulb idea or whatever and you two find a way to work it out.

Cohabitation is HARD. (I'm not very good at it.) Don't let it ruin your love. If need be and it's feasible, make other living arrangements. Are you sure you've given it enough time? Two months isn't very long to get used to things... Good luck!

I hope it all works out for you Linda. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Did you both move into this house at the same time, or have you just moved in with him? I absolutely love my boyfriend, but I'm completely happy NOT living with him at the moment. I really LOVE my space :)

Thank you, Ladies. Your words are sincerely appreciated.

The love is still there; that's not the issue. It's a space sharing thing. He had been on his own for 15 years. Together, we've reached the conclusion that we need to live separately again. We plan to continue the relationship after I move. The pics will tell, eh?
