My brother and his 'girlfriend' (that's what I consider her) recently had a child. Long story short...he is no longer in love with her and wants to be friends (he's in love with his ex) BUT she is MADLY in love with him. He would like to continue living with her for the sake of the child, but sleep in different rooms and date other people. He argues that they would continue to share the responsibilities as parents under the same roof, making decisions together for their son, but having separate lives.

He doesn't want to have shared custody because he feels that he will miss out on important events with his son, and he believes that his 'girlfriend's' home is harmful (there is abuse in her family's home). So he has come up with this plan.

I think this sort of arrangement would harm his son in the future, confusing him on relationships and the like. I don't know what effect having his father with a girlfriend and his mother with a boyfriend (maybe if she ever gets over my brother) under the same house will do to him.

What do you guys think? Does this sound like a reasonable idea?
 
Wow...let me give you a little story of what happens when this goes on:
Lets call the guy Jon and the wife Mary now:
Jon gets mad at Mary, so they break up
They have two kids together
While the kids are sleeping
They get into a fight about finaces/new relationships
He ends up choking Mary to death.

All this happens because of the same scenario you have above....Tell the GF to get her child and leave..since he doesnt want her.
