I know one couple and know of another pair who live in separate homes and both are very happy, I'm getting engaged next month, been with b/f 8 months and I want the same, for us to not live together, have 2 or 3 days a week apart to do our own thing, have our own space. To me it's more exciting to anticipate his visit than to live with him, he's not too keen but I'm hoping to persuade him we'll be more likely to last if we do things this way. I'm sure many will disagree with me but still would like others' opinions.?
