Tell us: do you still live with your ex?

Do you still live with your ex? Break ups are expensive, and with the housing market in its current state, increasing numbers of couples are being forced to keep living together, after they’ve broken up.

The Guardian’s Saturday magazine is looking to get in touch with former couples who still live under the same roof. We’re looking for exes of all ages, and life stages, all over the world. Whether you’re twenty-somethings stuck in the same flat-share because you can’t afford to rent elsewhere, or forty-somethings staying in the family home for the sake of your kids – we’d love to hear from you. At the moment, we are particularly keen to hear from exes in their twenties living together.

We would photograph you and your ex in your shared home, and do a brief interview with you about your living arrangement.
