Living Apart: How the Government Betrayed a Landmark Civil Rights Law | 
Thanks, @JoScho for your generous #giveaway! What makes me #uniquelyyou? I am currently enjoying the freedom of solo living while I remain in an unconventional relationship with my husband, who lives in a house 3.5 miles from me. No one in my life understands what we're doing. 🤯 It's a thing, I swear. And the book I read that gave me the courage to try it isn't in the Litsy database. Living Apart Together by Anne Watson
TiredLibrarian Actually I think this sounds like a great arrangement! 😉😀 7y
cherinium @TiredLibrarian It certainly has its advantages! I do get tired of saying, "no, we're not getting divorced," though. I get a lot of raised eyebrows when people first hear about it. 7y
CouronneDhiver Interesting! 7y

JHSiess Been doing that with my husband for 9 years. He lives in one of my houses; I live in the other. But we are not a couple -- & weren't for m as my yrs before I finally moved out. It's just too much trouble to get divorced. And no, I would never get married again so . . . 😄 7y
blondie Honestly, I'd prefer that. I'm weird about my space though. My boyfriend and I are gonna move in together and we're gonna be doing separate bedrooms. Which most people think of as a bad thing I guess. 7y
JoScho I say whatever works for you is what is best for you 💕 7y
britt_brooke Interesting! Whatever works for you is great and people should mind their own business. 7y
RebelReader I prefer to live alone. When I was little and dreamt about my life I always lived alone like Mary Tyler Moore and That Girl! Mark and I live together now, but we have lived apart in the past. 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @RebelReader MTM was my role model!!! I always thought the same way!! I wasn‘t the type to dream about a wedding dress, I dreamt about having my own place and being independent. 7y
cherinium @JHSiess I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one! My husband and I are great friends and still enjoy hanging out on a regular basis. We just can't live together. At this point, neither one of us sees the point in changing our marital status. 7y
cherinium @blondie I'm all for doing what makes you most comfortable. Before I moved out last September, we'd had separate bedrooms for a couple years. In the long run, we decided we needed even more space. Neither one of us wanted to completely end the relationship, though. So, here we are. 7y
cherinium @RebelReader It's funny. I always dreamed of having a huge family. I was very focused on education and career, though, and didn't get married until my mid 30s. The kid part didn't happen for us, and for a while, was a huge disappointment for me. It certainly killed the romance for us. After a while, I came to realize that I missed being independant and am now mostly grateful that I never got pregnant. I am now the happiest I've ever been. 😁 7y
cherinium @JoScho @britt_brooke @CouronneDhiver @JanuarieTimewalker13 Thanks for being so supportive! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I think it‘s wonderful. Right up my alley!! You‘ve got the best of both worlds!👍🏽 7y
