I live with my ex in a small flat, even though we broke up – we are still sharing a bed, but we can’t afford to move

A woman has revealed how she still lives with her ex -boyfriend in a small flat – even though they broke up months earlier.

Bethany Lee, who comes from Devon, went out about three months ago with her fiancé David Smith.

The couple, who had been together for two and a half years and shares the one-year-old son Finneas, still shares cooking and cleaning and sleeping even in the same bed.

Bethany, who is in the late twenties, says that neither of them can afford to move, so for now they do it in the ‘small’ flat with two bedrooms in Derbyshire.

She explained that it was ‘pretty mutual’ and that they can still ‘really get along with friends’.

In one video on TapWhere she mail with the aim of raising enough money to move, Bethany said: ‘I have been living with my ex-boyfriend for three months now and everyone is a bit interested in it.

“We just can’t afford to live separately. We can hardly afford to live here in this cheap small flat, as it is because of the costs of a living crisis. ‘

“It’s not as strange as you think. But not ideal, “she confessed in the commentary part.

Bethany and David met in their first year of the university and were in the same halls.

But their relationship did not immediately go to plan, because Bethany became pregnant after they only knew each other for three months.

“Shock, our relationship did not work,” she said in her tap video.

Now her ex-partner works in management five to six days a week, while working as a receptionist three days a week.

This means that she will mainly do cooking and cleaning during the week to give her ex time with their son free on his days.

She explained that they had initially tried to do things separately, such as washing and cooking, but it did not ‘walk’ because the space they share is so small.

She explained: “Now our arrangement is very similar to what it would be like when we had a relationship, where I cook and I do much more of the household work and he is many more hours at work than me.”

Her partner initially slept on the bank and she considered getting a bank bed, but decided that the money would be used better to save for her move.

Beth gave her followers a tour of her flat and said it has ‘no storage’ and only one cupboard, with the kettle.

When she went to the kitchen, she compared it with a ‘glorified corridor with cupboards’.

“Every centimeter space is used to save things,” she said.

In the reactions she admitted that it is’ difficult ‘, but she does not know what else to do’.

However, she admitted in the commentary that they no longer have sex.

Many ran in astonished about the housing arrangements of Bethany and David to the comments.

They said, ‘I’m going to say it. You can’t be friends with an ex, because you never kept or you are still in love with them ‘;

“You are actually a couple without realizing it.”

Others thought it was unfair that Bethany took on the majority of the household work, especially since it falls apart.

One wrote: “So he actually has a life in girl, sorry that you deserve a better girl, look at the mental charge.”

A second said: “I think he should pay you or treat you more of the rent for the work you do for him,” while a third added: “Girl you have brainwashed.”

However, another person praised the former couple as’ brilliant parents. Total respect for both of you. ‘

In another video, Beth Clips shared ‘cleaning up for the third time that day’ before preparing the dinner for her son and her ex.

After receiving a recoil, she clarified in another video that she enjoys cleaning and she can earn money by filming herself on Tiktok.

Now she is starting to look around for a new place to live and hopes to go back to university in September to study psychology.
