Would you do this: be a married couple, living separately?

Question

Married couples lives separately

Losalt · Accepted Answer

I'm struggling a bit with picking a option here.
Because I can see a scenario where I would *kind* of be willing to do it.

Think separate apartments in the same highrise *and* hallway.
It would *feel* like just having separate rooms.
But you can still spend 90% of the time together.
Wake up together when you feel like that, eat breakfast together, etc.
But you'll still have the option of a "man cave" so to speak.

And if in some kind of poly relationship and some members of the relationship doesn't feel comfortable with meeting it would give you more options.

i can see how it may work for some and as a married man there are definitely times when i want personal space to be alone... but over all it wouldn't work for me

How are you married living separately? WTF LOL? How are you supposed to f-k them? 😂 With phone s-x? 😂 That’s not even a marriage anymore 😂 That's a long-term breakup. 😂 I couldn’t do it. If I marry someone it’s because I’m planning to screw him every single day. 🍆 After a month I’ll get the depressed and I’m hoping on the next D-K. I have an amazing libido. I’m not wasting my wetness like that 🖕

After marriage? Not unless it was absolutely necessary due to outside circumstances.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

If being separated was necessary - TEMPORARILY - for work or family related concerns, I would certainly be flexible aboout that. But if the idea is to permanently live apart. . . what is the point in getting married?

SnowedIn · Answer

Depending on the circumstances, I'd do this, yes. Certain life situations might necessitate it.

And, yes, I've been vocalnon here about how I don't feel LDRs work -- that's still true. But I think if a couple has already been married and lived together and one has to live apart for a while (military, school, job assignment, etc.) with a defined end time, that can work.

Long term? Not sure. I don't know what I see coming from that unless it's some sort of financial or legal benefit. But that's not marriage.

Pacquet · Answer

I like the idea of separate rooms if I'm married or living with a partner but separate homes seems like it defeats the purpose. Although there's couples like this that make it work where the husband works in China or something and the wife works in the states and they meet up about once a month.

Billlewis · Answer

I could definitely live apart from the woman I'm married to, especially since I'm a longtime cuckold and I'm never allowed to have any penetrative sex anyway. Living in separate residences would be very practical in my case.

provokeesmokee · Answer

It depends, but I'm open to it. Especially if I'm allowed to still share a bed occasionally. I know several couples who do this and it works great for them.

Mac-One · Answer

There is no way that I would want to be married and living apart unless it is a very temporary job situation or military assignment. Also I am not in favor of having separate bedrooms or beds.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I don't have a choice, me and my future partner would have to live separately even when married.

PeteA380 · Answer

My perfect little world would be to specifically live together and wake up guilt and hassle free and in love every morning.

If I had to, I'd potentially accept living apart, but only if at least one she was to get pregnant and if the child would live with me most of the time.

Guess I could say I am sick of living alone.

SolitarySolace · Answer

What’s the point of marriage if you stand living together? Doesn’t marriage Mean that you’re considered one? Don’t loving apart from each other defeat that purpose?

worldscolide · Answer

No, why the fuck would I want to pay for two homes with two sets of bills and the like. That's just plain stupid. And I'm glad the votes agree with me.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Instead of a married couple living separately I rather be unmarried living together.

integrale77 · Answer

If because of work you live apart part time eh sailor, soldier, oil rig worker or long distance lorry driver but even with those there would be time together too

exitseven · Answer

Not if it was a real marriage. If I was doing it as some kind of tax scam I might.

Raaj4you · Answer

No, I can't. Why should I? We marry each other to live happily ever after together at one place.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I believe in giving each other space and freedom in a relationship but living apart just sounds stupid so no.

JackCarter · Answer

Never if it's our choice.. but sometimes work separates us for weeks or a month and that's sad!

_SillyShoes_ · Answer

Sounds amazing (not always but at least occasionally) - but probably only an actual option for the rich.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yes; absolutely. As long as I get plenty of booty calls!

MassiveDik · Answer

No that's dumb as fuck. Might as well be fucking single.

EmmaMary · Answer

No thank you very much.

Anjoomkabir · Answer

Defeats the purpose of marriage

Miristheiss · Answer

No, why even bother getting married.

Jazzy54 · Answer

No.  That makes absolutely no sense to me.

najekim · Answer

No sense being married if living apart.
