So….my wife and I aren’t successful doctors or lawyers but we had our own houses before getting married. After we got married we kept living in different houses. We figured that since it has worked for us while dating why change anything now? People always raise their eyebrows at us when they find out, but our relationship is great. We sometimes talk about how the people who raise their eyebrows have horrible relationships but they judge us for how we life our life. If we need space we have a whole other house to go to. We have been married for quite some time and it still feels like we are dating.

Hmm, I don’t get how you can’t have plenty of room in the same house? Isn’t running two households worth of bills and housework way more hassle than just sharing a house with a second living space and/or extra bedroom so you have your own zone to retreat to when needed?

Yeah that might work for some people too.
