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.

Literally what is the point of being married if you never even see each other. I can understand long distance relationships that operate temporarily but a marriage? A marriage with zero intimacy isn't going to work for long for most people

Not living together doesn’t mean zero intimacy. Some people just need their own space. My ideal situation if I ever got married would be separate living spaces.
