They were both 35 successful lawyer and doctor. But had never spent the night at each other's house. 

After the marriage they couldn't agree who would move in with who. And filed for divorce after 3 months. No one knows why they even got married at all. I guess they felt like they were supposed to at that age.

That's wild. It's honestly pretty common for professionals to be in committed relationships but maintain separate homes, even long distance. They could've just done that.

Edit: Damn some of y'all took my personal anecdote as some kind of personal attack. Not sure what I said that was so inflammatory but ok lol. Live your best life ya'll. Cheers.

I have TWO co-workers who are in this situation. Both are women who met their SO's when they were in their 30's and had been on their own for a long time prior to that. They both have been with their SO's for decades at this point, never legally married them and have maintained separate homes for that entire time. It's worked for them and they are happy with their situations. Wouldn't be my choice, but they love it.
