Ten years before Jada Pinkett split with Will Smith and remained living with him, I did the same with my former. I had my reasons for residing under one roof, she had hers, but the two of us are not anomalies. In fact, I believe we are among more than a few who opt for this way of splitting up with our significant other. Economics factor in, kids still living at home factor in and abiding friendships can also factor in. Friendly with your no longer significant other? How could that be, you may be wondering? As different as you are from me, I am from you. For whatever our reasons, some of us split and stay.
