After reading your other responses in this thread it sounds like your culture is vastly different from mine.
The fact that you mention providing alternate housing for an ex, that would be her own responsibility where I’m from, and the fact that you decided to still live together while seeing others are plain weird to me.
I’d say a first step would be to have them meet each other with you there and then having brunch or something on their own. If either can’t stand the other then it’s not gonna work after all.

What kind of house are we talking about here, a two-bedroom or a mansion with suites and guest house?

Assuming the house is large enough for everyone to have a bit of space, I don’t see any problem with it. Your kids are old enough to be able to handle this. Just wondering…is your ex planning to live with you long term? What happens after your youngest turns 18? It seems like at some point you’re going to want your ex out of the house, have there been any discussions about timelines, alternative arrangements, etc.?

I’d take your “25 at the latest” with a grain of salt, finishing uni in a straight shot is definitely not a guarantee!

people love to assume nothing bad will ever happen to them or their children, even after shit has already happened.
