Call me old fashioned but I think this is insane.
This article on elle.com is all about married couples living in their own separate spaces, and this being the reason they are still "happily" married.
"And I wanted more mystery, too, more of a sense that we were separate people with our own lives and interests who were choosing to spend the evening together because we wanted to, not because we were too lazy to leave the house."
Since we got married, I have encountered a lot of people who make their marriages work in unconventional ways. For example, where the husband has a more chilled job and does bed and bath duty in the evenings, while his wife is a career powerhouse. Or the husband works in another town during the week and comes home on weekends; usually a temporary arrangement. The difference with these couples is that they still share a home. I thought the best part about being married, the point of marriage was to SHARE your life with someone! I understand the importance of man night, and let-Kate-watch-Greys-in-peace-night and independence and being your own person. But this is going too far.
Or is my thinking archaic and I've missed the point?
