Perfectly fine... but I'm not every guy out there and the dynamics are different for different people. I've been with chicks that simply can't do anything on their own. All of their entertainment in life comes from their man...

I don't find that endeering. I like to sit in silence and clean my guns... play video games... play around with my guitars for a few hours... fuck around on the internet and watch youtube videos... I can entertain myself. I don't need someone hanging on my arm all god damn day.

A lot of guys are not like me though. One of my sons comes to mind... that fucker can't just chill. You got to find what's going to work for you. Some guys will be perfect for you, others... you're going to feel like you're married to a needy chick.

Not wanting to see your partner every day is unusual.

Having different job requirements, maybe one spouse travels a lot, would be normal.

Whatever works for the couple is best.

You are young. As you mature and become committed to a partner, your ideas might change.

Everyone's social battery is different. I personally feel the same about my boyfriend right now. I like to have my own time and space to myself, which I think is achievable during marriage, even if you decide to live with each other. I think you can create zones in your house that allows you to have this. On the other hand, I think it is considered a-typical to live in different houses when married, but if it feels right for the two of you, then who are we to judge.

Imjustagirl1520, you are not required to date and/or marry anybody. If you don’t want to deal with the expectations of marriage, don’t get married.

My aim here on GAG is to help you untangle love, commitment, and all the messy stuff in between.

Yes, that can work, gorgeous. Marriage is about agreement, not a fixed rulebook. Some couples thrive with space: separate bedrooms, separate apartments, or seeing each other a few days a week.

Just be crystal clear from the start. If he wants constant closeness and you need distance, that’s a compatibility issue, not a cute quirk. Misaligned needs there become a red flag fast.

Lol i think anybody that gets married would like that way, that's a better way for some people, I like that way too, but there's not too many girls that would want it that way, I think it's just depends on the 2 people and what they're all about who they are and what they really think about love

Iyaelsorai · Answer

It sounds like it's fine with you, so it depends on whether it's fine with him. I think it all depends on the individual, mostly factors like how independent/codependent/attached/securely attached they are, and how much of a social life and other activities they have besides spending time with their s/o.

Yes, it is entirely possible and okay to be married while not living together or seeing each other every day, provided both partners are in agreement and happy with that arrangement. Many couples maintain successful, long-term, or Living Apart Together relationships by prioritizing quality time, autonomy, and shared values over daily, 24/7 cohabitation.

Good luck

I’d say it’s fine as long as that’s what both people wanted and could sustain , sure

Personally I wouldn’t bet on the marriage lasting though but that’s just my opinion 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I have no idea why you would go anonymous to post this. Everybody knows who you are

RavVid · Answer

I wouldn't accept such a deal. I'd see it as a not very serious dating relationship.

In a marriage or a serious relationship you are meant to be building a life together and 2-3/7 is blowing that away.

24/7? Most people work and have outside interests, so that almost never happens these days.

Deepinthought345 · Answer

Nah... marriage isn't to be taken lightly. You are responsible for each other and accountable for each other. If you can't have the same thing 24/7 just don't commit. Also this decision also has to be mutual

ammar12343 · Answer

Sure. My best bud is a firefighter and lives that life.

Staximus · Answer

That wouldn't be much of a marriage, you might as well not get married if that's the type of relationship you want

WhitneySnow · Answer

Sure, if you can find someone who will agree to that

Nonamez · Answer

It is very ok , that way you avoid boredom and have to talk about something, 24/7 is not healthy for anything

exitseven · Answer

If both people want it that way I suppose it would work.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

If that's how you wanna spend your marriage, you do you!

AgentG111 · Answer

Absolutely! Less interaction means more longing and ability to have decent discussions when together.

jahaims · Answer

You aren't emotionally healthy if that's what you want in marriage

You're not even of legal age, you're still a child. Are you thinking about marriage? Go study your lessons.

blackeagle007 · Answer

That’s tough. I like having my own space but hate doing long distance. Good question I’d say

Abbycado · Answer

That’s ridiculous.
