My ex-husband and I split up a decade ago when our third child was a baby, and one of the best things about our divorce was finally having my house to myself. At the time, I never thought we'd share space again. But now, every other weekend, my ex stays in my home with my kids. He cooks them dinner in my kitchen and eats at my dining room table. On Fridays, he walks to the store near my house to by movie-theater candy and sits with my kids for movie night in my living room. On Sundays, they do our weekend chores together. While I'd prefer to have full reign over my home, his parenting time weekends have helped my kids stay organized and learn to trust him after many years of inconsistent visits.I moved after our splitWhen we first separated, it made sense for my ex to come to what was once...

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Olivia Howell, 40, CEO of Fresh Starts Registry and mother of two. It has been edited for length and clarity.I had my first boyfriend at 16 and stayed in relationships nonstop until six years ago.I was heavy into dating apps, often seeing more than one person at once. In college, I had a serious boyfriend I thought I'd marry. Then, at 24, I met my husband on Match.com. We moved fast: he relocated from Connecticut to Long Island, where I still live, and we married two years later. Shortly after, we had our two sons. Our marriage eventually dissolved. He moved out in August 2019, and he's the last person I've kissed or slept with. I'm completely happy with that decision, despite the naysayers who assume it must be lonely.But let me back u...
