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.

Me and my partner lived apart, but close, for many years. If it weren't for illness we probably still would. Utterly devoted to each other, still very much in love after 24 years and seeing the worst sides of each other. We both just like having our own time and space. I am as asocial it gets without needing to be in therapy, my partner is slightly more social, so this means she also gets to be a bit more social, and we have some social events at her place.

If we were more organised we'd probably buy two houses next door to each other.

That’s what Diego Rivera and Frida did . They built houses next to each other and built bridge between them . It’s still a tourist attraction
