Sadly, with the current divorce rate in the UK at 50%, maybe this is why some people are choosing the 'Living apart Together' option. Is marriage today becoming less life long than it was a few generations ago. Should their marriage fail, division of assets is simple and no one need to move out. If they already live separately before they marry, it would just mean they continue to do so after they marry. There are clearly multiple reasons why some would choose the LAT option after marriage.

Good morning everyone here in Mingle2.

Sorry, but I cannot agree with you. I believe most people who do fall in love and marry have complete trust in their partner, and hope their marriage lasts a lifetime.
True love, unconditional love, can be found by searching for it, take your time in getting to know them really well, before making that very big decision in life to marry.
Good luck in your search.

Seperation in a Marriage can result in the couple living together again at sometime in the future, once the issues causing them to seperate are resolved. It can also result in divorce if those issues are unresolvable between them, other couples are happy to just remain permanently seperated and live a single life style..

You are right there are situations where couples do live apart because of the nature of their work, a professional having to work in another state, people on active service overseas maybe, but this is more of an acceptance of the situation, rather than a lifestyle choice. I agree choosing to live married life apart is just a marriage on paper, that is well put.

Love is blind, is what we call an idiom in the English language, it doesn't mean physical blindness. It's said 'love is blind' because we tend to see only what we want to see in a loving partner, they have our complete trust, and maybe we tolerate far more than we should in a relationship that has really come to end, but we are to 'blind' to see it.

I did intend it to be all encompassing and, to include marriage as well but are right, maybe it's because we all associate living apart when dating and not marriage, that many replied that way. The only married couples I know living apart are actually 'separated', not choosing it as a way to be together by living apart.

I think 'Slim' made a good point, that age possibly influences how we choose to be together.

Thanks for all the replies. When dating living apart is usually the norm, well it is for me. If I were to marry someone I would expect us to live together, I would want to live with them. You can always find some me time, that's what man caves are for.

Would you be happy in this kind of relationship?

Why more couples are choosing not to live together

Would you be happy? Do you think it could become the norm?

I agree, and would say, if I wasn't prepared to start a long distance relationship after the holiday I would say goodbye. I need a lot of time to get to know someone, so marriage in Vegas would never happen.

A monogamous relationship is the only one I am interested in, why be in a relationship if you want to play the field, then stay single in my opinion.

Have you ever been on vacation and found romance, back home they live miles away from you. Would you start a long distance relationship or say goodbye at the end of the holiday? If in Vegas would you marry?

Good morning everyone here in Mingle2.

I guess it depends on what you are both looking for, just a friend with benefits, or something serious which requires more than lust in the relationship.
