AIBU to think that this arrangement is just plain odd?

Whilst bored at work I found the following story about a couple who are married but live in different houses. To me it just looks like he is trying to keep up a bachelor existence which suits him just fine thank you very much.

Having just done a LTB myself for reasons of lack of commitment, the fact that his house was very much 'his house', my apparent lack of housewifeliness and that I just got fed up of his moaning I wondered what people think of this? My ex had a 13 relationship before me and never lived with her even though they had a child together... I think it's weird and smacks of a selfish inflexible personality...

I read that too!! I didn't get it at all, surely you marry to be with them? Xx

it is not that odd - my godparents have been married for fifty years and have always kept separate houses - seems to me to be a recipe for a successful marriage! They do spend time together in their country house, but each has their own place in London.

Helena Bonham Carteer and Tim Burton live in adjecent houses in London with inter-connecting doors, the DC have a room in both and come and go as they please.

DH and I have always said that would be perfect for us if we could afford it.

If we could afford it we would do this. DH travels a lot so i am used to being on my own with DD.
