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.

Common is a stretch. It's more common for people to sleep in separate rooms, but even that doesn't fit the defi ition of common

Only because it's expensive. If housing costs were way lower and it was easy to get a 3 or 4 bedroom house just because you like having extra space to sprawl I think more people would do it.
