But if someone wants"space" and that means they are out and about doing who knows what whenever and not wanting to chat about it, well, then that would seem like a bad thing.
I think that pretty well hits it on the head as to why
I never wanted marriage or a live-in romance.
When you are dating someone or more than one,
you live your life as you want without feeling obligation
to explain what you've been doing all day.
I have known two other couples who lived this way.
They said they were in love and wanted to be together
a lot, but, only when they wanted.
They lived in seperate houses, close together yet far enough apart, they could be out and about doing who
knows whatever without feeling they had to
account for their actions to the other.
Both couples lived their whole life that way with each other.
I was offered this odd sort of living from the one I had
been involved with for almost 20 years.
I was willing at that point to live together, but, he
was not.
And I needed someone to share expenses.
Didn't want some unknown from an ad in the paper either. But, moving in with someone I at least knew turned into complicated.
