I find the living arrangements that some couples have kind of strange. I don't understand why 2 so called "happily" married people would want to live 2 separate lives...on opposite sides of town. I don't know about you, but I love having my husband around. Yeah he's annoying at times, and I may be to him, but I would never even think about living in separate places. Would you ever consider this arrangement just so you could have your own "space"?

I'm not talking about military deployment either. My husband is in the Air Force and currently on a remote tour in S. Korea for a year. He's been gone since June.

That is just wrong why would anyone want a marriage like that. I love being around my wife while I'm at work wish I was at home with her and our pets. I think if you want a lifestyle like that stay single just my personal thoughts on the issue.

There is a big trend in houses and apartments these days -- TWO master bedrooms! So everyone can have their own space. Personally, I think this is a GREAT idea. My man and I each have our own room and we get along fabulously. We 'get together' whenever we want and I LOVE sleeping with him, but it's so nice to go into my OWN, feminine room. I keep my room nice, his is messy. I stay up late, he goes to bed at a regular time. So yes, I think having separate spaces can be very nice...
But living across town from each other? That's a separation, not a marriage. But hey -- if it works for them, all the better!

No way. I know of one supposedly happily married couple who live in separate houses, but just can't understand that at all. Surely that's not a marriage? Me and my husband might drive each other crazy at times, but I love being around him, as much as I possibly can. I know sometimes there might be circumstances (eg one partner finding the perfect job in another city, the other having to stay behind for a bit while applying for jobs in the new city... I also know of plenty of couples living in separate countries while they work on moving to be together) that might dictate that a couple *has* to live separately for a while... but that would only be temporary. Agreeing to live like that long-term... nope, can't understand it at all, and there's no way in the world I would do it.

I don't think I would enjoy separate quarters. My fiance and I have discussed have separate bathrooms, but he draws the line at separate bedrooms, and so do I. I know that men and women can be annoyed by spending a lot of time in one another's company, but I love him so and I want to be where ever he is! He loves me so, and can't wait to get back to me when he's out of the home.

Separate bedrooms in the same house sounds PERFECT!!!
My wife and I have almost always had separate sinks in the bathroom (and in one house I had my own bathroom) and this works very well for us because I can't stand the clutter and she can't keep things tidy.
It never occurred to me to have separate bedrooms! We could be together when we wanted to, but still have "space" and privacy when needed. I'm going to look into this!

No, I wouldn't want to live separately from my husband. However, our house is big enough where we each have our own bedroom. We have separate computers as well, so we never step on each other's toes or anything. We have plenty of "space" as far as I'm concerned.

We had seperate bedrooms for years much less across town, still ended up divorced. That's sounds more like dating than a marriage. Even in seperate bedrooms at best we were roommates much less married.

no i wouldn't. just like you i love to be with my husband. and when i need "my space" i just go out one afternoon alone and do some shopping and buy something for y husband. i think those people you mention maybe they are getting divorce and don't want no one to know, and maybe they see each other just for sex. well could be.
i just don't understand if you are very happy why would you live away from your love one. that's nonsense to me

I like waking up beside my husband every night, however, I would love to have separate bathrooms! That would be ideal.
