Couple Moves in with Ex-Husband

"Nicole Thompson-Arce poses on her wedding day with her husband,
Mathew Arce, and her ex-mother-in-law."

What a story! CNN reports on this couple, wed last July, who decided to move in with the wife's ex-husband to save money.

After a bitter divorce with a custody dispute in 2005, exes Nicole, 28, and Craig, 42, Thompson eventually buried the hatchet and became friends. When Nicole remarried this past summer, her ex mother-in-law was part of the wedding. And then, after job losses and financial problems, they decided to move in with the ex-husband.

They say that the arrangement works well, they're able to share time with their kids more easily, and that they like the living situation so much that they plan to keep it for "at least five to ten years"!!

"It has... taken a little time for the little ones to get the story straight. Seven-year-old Victoria went back to school after winter break -- and after the whole team had blended under one roof -- and started telling people this: 'My mommy has two husbands,' Thompson-Arce remembered. 'I was like, 'No, honey, don't tell them that!' "

This story is so unusual, I don't know what to say. I guess it's good that they can all get along, but it still sound like an uncomfortable living situation.
