AITA for being "too close" to my Ex-Husband?
Six years after a quiet divorce born not from anger but from the fading of love, two parents faced a new kind of challenge — how to keep their family whole for the sake of their precious daughter.
Bound not by romance but by devotion, they chose a path few would dare: living side by side in adjoining homes, connected by a door, to nurture the childhood their love had once created.
In a world where separation often means distance, they defied convention and expectation to create a shared space where their daughter could grow surrounded by both parents.
Their story is one of sacrifice and hope, a testament to the power of putting a child’s happiness above all else, even when love between adults has faded.

The Original Poster (OP) es**blished a highly unconventional but functional co-parenting structure with their ex-husband, prioritizing their daughter's s**bility by living in adjoining houses.
The central conflict arises when the OP's current boyfriend demands they move to end the proximity to the ex-husband, putting the es**blished, positive routine for the daughter in direct opposition to the boyfriend's expectation of a traditional relationship structure.
Is the OP justified in refusing to move, thereby prioritizing the daughter's es**blished s**bility over their boyfriend's desire for a different living arrangement, or should the OP sacrifice this unique setup to accommodate a new, serious romantic partnership?
