Been with my BF just over a year and things have been going well. We've both been married before and both have kids from those marriages and have always been on the same page about how neither of us felt the need to get married again. We don't live together and have always agreed that it's nice to get together but also to have our 'own space'.
Fairly recently I've noticed his attitude seems to have shifted slightly (him mentioning marriage in a positive light, joking about asking me to marry him in the future). We went for a meal last week and he said something along the lines of maybe we could get married in the future but not living together all the time.
I think he's trying to 'feel out' how receptive I'd be to getting married (and actually, I'm starting to like the idea myself...which surprises me) but an arrangement of a married couple not living together seems really unusual. I admit I'm feeling a bit confused. Would it ever work? Does anyone know of couples who live like this? And any advice for me?
