" The New York Times has a new real-estate magazine called Key. Since I rent my apartment, I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t think I&amp;amp;#8217;d have any interest in it...until I saw this article. Chana and Simon were married and bought a house in Brooklyn. They spent more than $1 million in renovations. They adored this home. But then, they started fighting, grew apart and got divorced in 2005. The catch? They both wanted to keep living in the house. So, like Solomon, they literally built a wall halfway through and now live on opposite sides. Sound crazy? It is!!! Simon&amp;#x27;s side of the house has the air-conditioning switch, which he won&amp;#x27;t turn on even on the most sweltering summer days. &amp;quot;All he has to do is turn on the switch, but he&amp;amp;#8217;s cruel and sadistic,&amp;quot; Chana said. &amp;quot;&amp;amp;#8216;He&amp;amp;#8217;s behind the wall, controlling everything.&amp;quot; Why don&amp;amp;#8217;t they just spare themselves the agony and move away? &amp;quot;Some people ask me why I&amp;amp;#8217;m fighting to keep the house,&amp;quot; says Simon. &amp;quot;It&amp;amp;#8217;s like asking why you are fighting to keep your fingers. &amp;amp;#8216;Give me two fingers. It doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t pay to fight to keep two fingers.&amp;amp;#8217; But they&amp;amp;#8217;re my fingers. I will never give up the house. The house and me is one.&amp;quot; Crikey. Read the insane story in Key Magazine and thank your lucky stars that you don&amp;amp;#8217;t have to live there. And tell me, what have you had to give up--or fought to save--in a breakup? I&amp;amp;#8217;ve lost comic books, CDs, a set of Dr. Katz episodes, T-shirts, pajama pants&amp;amp;#133;the list goes on and on!
