I have a man in my life... but not in my house! Is this unusual?

    It sounds ideal. If one partner becomes ill or something similar happens, you can just dump them without too many issues.

    You would dump your partner if he/she became ill? :eek:

    I think because I feel, I've been there and done that, and after 25 years of marriage and sharing my home with a load of blokes (OH + 3 sons) I long to come home and everything be just as I left it, no piles of washing up in the sink, nobody wanting to watch the football, etc.

    Ditto :D You could be me !!

    Are you making a statement or asking a question,,?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    You have made me so jealous, I would love our relationship to be like that.
    I lived on my own for a long time and miss my own space and my way of doing things.
    Treat other's how you like to be treated.

    We know a couple who have been married for over 20 years but live apart. When they got married she worked away all week and we only home at weekends. When that changed they soon discovered that they simply couldn't live together as their interests and needs were so different.

    Their solution was to have separate houses. They live a few hundred yards apart and have their own lives as well as what now seems a very happy relationship. It works for them, although most people think it a bit odd. Each to their own.

    Asking a question. It seems an extraordinary thing to suggest

    Well im not speaking for myself necessarily but it is a common scenario. Is it necessary to live together for there to be a fully committed relationship?
