Couple lived apart for 20 years and once they moved in together… went to break it up – The solution they found to be together

Two cannot fit under the same roof…. this is what a married couple claims and even with evidence, that when the woman finally decided to move with her husband after 20 years marriage, they broke up. More specifically, the 55 years old Claire Burke and her 49-year-old husband David, who were against cohabitation being married with one child, decided after their wedding to live in separate homes, saying it was a secret to keep her “spark” of their wedding lit.

As they claim, everything was going well until they decided to buy one home and to finally be together, like a normal family. This was the beginning of the end for the couple as they claim. In fact, as they characteristically described it, it was the “nail” in the coffin of their relationship… “when I lived in my house, which I always had in order, I felt like I was doing what I wanted and suddenly (moving in) I felt like I was nothing else rather than a cleanerClaire told Cater News. “I got so stressed out seeing dirty clothes next to clean, discarded things on the dining room table, dark circles in the bathroom, toothpaste in the sink and gym stuff in the garden,” she said. Feeling more like a cleaner than a wife, Claire grew tired of constantly picking up her husband’s things. However, to save him Wedding they found a solution for them… in the middle…

Their solution to the tension? They split their house in half.

Now, they sleep in different bedrooms and even watch TV separately as they can’t even agree on what to watch.

Cohabitation “caused a lot of tension and we exchanged bad talk on several occasions, but after a while, I decided to accept that this is just the way it is,’ said Claire. “We tried to be together in the living room at night and watch TV together, but it wasn’t comfortable as we could never agree on what to watch,” she added.

Claire admitted that the heated disagreements over everything created a rift with her Marvel husband. “Before we decided we were just going to spend our evenings apart, we made a rule. “That if we watch something, we should give ten minutes to each other and if one of us wasn’t enjoying it, then he would inform,” he said. But it wasn’t enough… as he claimed “we just found out we didn’t have nothing in common and we found that the only solution is to be in different parts of the house, where we could relax and watch TV, separately.”

But the couple’s problems did not stop there. It was not so only the television. Even sharing a wardrobe drove the pair apart, as Claire wanted one of her own. “It was very difficult to try to reduce the number of my clothes, so I could share the wardrobe with David,” she admitted. “When we attempted it, it probably only had about an eighth of the space. He had no room to look through his shirts.” Now, everyone has their own closet, allowing them to lay out their clothes more comfortably.

While David isn’t “bothered” about how his space is, Claire for her part wants it to be everything arranged within the home. In fact, as she said, she usually goes to her husband’s room to make his bed and “beat his pillows”.

“We have found a way to live together” reported on the unorthodox way she lives with her husband and their 13-year-old son. Finding this solution was necessary for their marriage to succeed. “It’s like we have the best of both worlds now,” he added. “We can have all the family time we like, especially at dinnertime, as we can sit down and enjoy a meal together.” While Claire feared that the two of them would lose the “spark” they had while living apart the pair of still “in love”, as always.

“We are still very much in love and we even decided to renew our vows last year as we have been together for 21 years,” she said. “The way we live together may not be compatible, but for us it was something very important and we have been happy since we adjusted how to live under the same roof,” he added.
