Even, or not, with the immensely wealthy Elon Musk partner: Husband and wife living under the same roof without relation, know the truth of semi-separation
In September last year, Elon Musk, one of the world's richest people, told that he and his partner Grimes will live in semi-separation. Despite their separation, the relationship between the two will remain friendly. Grimes will live in their California home and the two will raise their one-year-old son together.
The semi-separation is seen as a new
divorce, after Elon Musk married Canadian singer Grimes in 2018. Describing their semi-separation in September 2021, Musk said that they would be co-parenting the child together. At that time this word seemed new to many people. For this the term 'New Divorce' was used.
There are many reasons for choosing semi-separation over separation. Such couples avoid breaking the relationship completely or getting divorced because they are confused about their separation. Sometimes couples do not want to get divorced for the sake of their children. They feel that the children should get the love of both the parents.
According to Divya Mahendru, founder and mental health expert, Embrace Imperfection, there are three stages of semi-separation. In the first stage, both husband and wife start living in different rooms. If children ask any kind of question, it is explained to them that mom has to go to work in the morning or dad comes from office late at night so both need rest.
According to Divya, in the second stage it has been seen that the husband and wife divide the duty related to the care of children among themselves. In this situation, one of the couple takes care of the child for a fixed time. In the third stage, it is seen that Mian-Biwi do not have breakfast, lunch and dinner with each other at the same table. Such husband and wife are seen with the whole family on weekends and spend time with the children.
The First Step to Semi-Separation Divorce
The relationship of semi-separation is like a pre-preparation for a couple looking to get divorced. Due to living separately in the same house, both learn to face adversity alone. Even children who are used to spending time separately with parents find it normal to spend time with one of the parents. After divorce, these children do not have to go through any kind of mental stress. By living in semi-separation before divorce, parents also regret less about their children and are less upset.
Think many times before semi-separation
When the conflict between the couple starts increasing during their living together or their daily discord starts affecting the children, then they are forced to go into such a relationship. Mental health expert Divya Mahendru believes that nowadays pre-divorce and post-divorce counseling takes place. In pre-divorce counseling, it is explained that a relationship should be ended in such a way that after separation, only bitterness is left in the mind of the man and woman for the old relationship. Elders and children of the house should stay away from stress.
