Living Apart Together (LAT)

A LAT relationship is a committed romantic partnership where the couple deliberately chooses to maintain separate homes.

The Vibe: High autonomy mixed with strong emotional commitment.

Why couples do it: It allows individuals to keep their own routines, maintain financial independence, and avoid household friction, while keeping the "spark" alive by prioritizing quality time togather.

I would prefer to have this type of relationship, where there are no minors involved. You can have your own quiet time and escape a triggering scenario that could possibly explode.


This certainly eliminates the need for a prenup agreement, where here in the UK living together even over a short specified time gives common law spouse rights over property and possessions.
Keeping to your own residence looks attractive, however, it falls short of everything a married/living together couple has in the much deeper relationship my opinion. I believe that sharing your lives and with all the ups and downs in life, creates stronger bonds.

Exchanging marriage vows doesn't mean a forever after, if they decide its over, its over.

Don't worry, you will be able to choose the voice type you like most, male, female, etc. like some Sat Navs. smile2

More seriously. I can see with the advancement of AI all these offshore Customer Service agencies will reduce and possibly close, replaced by a Chat bot. Billions are being spent on these very sophisticated AI systems like Chatgpt, but dedicated to a business or particular sphere. I recently heard on the tv news, how students here in the UK are now taking in to consideration the future advancement of AI when choosing their course of study at university. With some courses already affected by fewer student enrollments. So the professions will not be excluded from these advanced AI systems, areas such as finance and law, limiting future prospects in what are very well paid jobs, because far fewer professional people will be needed in those types of businesses in my opinion.

Can a relationship with a large age difference work. I think it can, where the two people involved look in to the negatives in their long term relationship, such as health, longevity, physical limitations. The reaction from family, friends and any children from a former marriage to their relationship, which in most cases will be negative. So the path to a happy and permanent long term relationship would not be easy. They need to discuss all these things so they know before it happens what they are likely to face. Certainly a long courtship of over a year, so they can experience some of these negatives, as well as talking about them, before considering living together or marriage. It can and does work for some, just a lot more to consider in my opinion than couples where both are of a similar age. I think more often than not, it is probably something some try out maybe out of curiosity and are not really looking for a long term relationship, nothing wrong with that. For some people 'Age is just a number' for a variety of reasons.

Thanks to everyone for the comments, and information, not realised the Avatars were site generated for those without a photo. I am fairly certain that back in the day there was a time when you could post your own Avatar. I was sorry when they were stopped, whilst I never posted my own, I thought some were really funny and brightened up the forums, but some were less so, which may have been the reason they were stopped. Unless, they were never really allowed and it was just a brief time before Mingle2 clamped down on it.
