Is it possible for a couple to stay together but stay living apart, I'm not talking long distance or anything, we see each other almost every day, it's just I have 3 children my partner doesn't have any.

Yeah be in a relationship without moving in or staying over

Yes! I know two couples living in this way. They love it. One couple are dear friends of my brother and when they tried to live together their kids didn't blend and there was drama, so now they live next door to each other and it's working out great.

I know a couple who have lived this way for 14 years. No children, just both like their own space.

I mean financially we couldn't afford a big enough house for us all anyway, we both rent, he struggles with depression hence why he needs his space, I've lived on my own with my 3 for 9 years so not even sure I could let a man live with us full time, just sounds lovely in an ideal world! I'd hate people to think we're not 100% committed to each if we don't live together

Don't worry what others think. Nothing to do with them.

I'm recently divorced with 2 children at secondary school. This is the sort of setup I'd like, if I were to meet someone.
