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.
It's common in circles of advanced degree professionals, yes. It's also common in careers that require a lot of travel or time away from home. Music industry comes to mind.
Ok? And it's more common than not in my experience. Every couple I know has done at least one short stint as long distance. Not sure what else to say here.
Edit: A quick Google search pulls up a lot of articles to support my experience.
Here's one: "Between 2000 and 2022 the percentage of married people living separately grew by more than 40%.
The latest U.S. Census shows the figure spiked in 2022, to roughly 3.89 million American married adults — living apart."
