Would you be happy? Do you think it could become the norm?

Yes. Women are irresistible and annoying.

There is nothing wrong with each having their own place. It's called Dating. Not all couples that are in a relationship live together..

Heck I know several that are dating living in their own place..and it works out great..

Would be different if you decided to get married..

i think its the most sensible relationship .... after all we all , at this age , have our own little quirks.... and our tolerance levels have diminished some .... LTA .... I'll do it !!!

being together is toxic to each other

Many women want commitment in living together and Marriage. Nothing is the NORM for every woman.
I would not live in different residence with a husband Unless he had a PROFESSIONAL Job in another State.

I do not Livin with any man while dating.

"Familiarity breeds contempt"

I'd rather live alone, and if I'm in a relationship, he can live alone too. We can spend time together when we want to.

If doesn't for living together then why the hell to fall in love an waste time and energy.. Stay alone an keep living halle luiyaa.....

Thanks for all the replies. When dating living apart is usually the norm, well it is for me. If I were to marry someone I would expect us to live together, I would want to live with them. You can always find some me time, that's what man caves are for.

Right

Your Question does not mention after a couple has married should they live apart?? It says should a couple live apart??

And if you notice most that answered were referring to dating or in a relationship.. Not if they were married to them..

I did intend it to be all encompassing and, to include marriage as well but are right, maybe it's because we all associate living apart when dating and not marriage, that many replied that way. The only married couples I know living apart are actually 'separated', not choosing it as a way to be together by living apart.

I think 'Slim' made a good point, that age possibly influences how we choose to be together.

For some married couples, living apart - not long distance - can make their hearts grow fonder of each other, allow them to have their own life styles, and thus keep the marriage.

If, I could find a woman willing to
support me, in a manner I'd like to
become accustomed to.

And, if I were allowed free reign to
bone any willing woman of my choice,
while the woman I'm living apart from
remains faithful to me...

Yeah... This whole "couple living apart"
thing, just seems a wee too much like
open relationship territory.

hi am single and living on my own so it good people don't tell me what to do or when I come bk when am out

Married living apart is just marrage on Paper. Unless there is a time limit to move together or the One Spouse has Professional Employment in another State.


IMO

Comment on living apart.
Separated Married couples MOST are datiing other People and some are livin with another partner. That is not what a Separation is for. The goal is suppose to be to put the marriage back together as One.
Many are even here Online dating sites.

Seperation in a Marriage can result in the couple living together again at sometime in the future, once the issues causing them to seperate are resolved. It can also result in divorce if those issues are unresolvable between them, other couples are happy to just remain permanently seperated and live a single life style..

You are right there are situations where couples do live apart because of the nature of their work, a professional having to work in another state, people on active service overseas maybe, but this is more of an acceptance of the situation, rather than a lifestyle choice. I agree choosing to live married life apart is just a marriage on paper, that is well put.

It's not for me, wouldn't make me happy.
I want the whole enchilada to be and feel fulfilled.

I think for Lat relationship to work both would have to love each other as much to begin with so both have an equal desire to spend time together.

I also think many choose for this form because deep down they're afraid to open up fully as they've been hurt before.
It can be -and I suspect often is- a form of relationship to keep the other at arm's length and to maintain a built-in safety in case it goes wrong.
But having that sense of 'in case it goes wrong (again)' is not a healthy premise in a relationship.


Since some ask abut this... I have once read of a married couple who had a LAT relationship.
There's no reason you cannot choose this form and get married as well.

But it wouldn't work for me.
