A place on the tree
Living with an ex while unsure whether the relationship is over
A breakup can leave two people sharing a home, caring for a child, and remaining emotionally or physically close while no longer agreeing on what they are. Everyday connection and mixed signals can make it difficult to know whether they are rebuilding the relationship or only trying to live alongside its ending.
