My partner and I live in the same apartment, but have separate bedrooms. I think this helps us tremendously as a couple. We both have our own space that is just ours. It's easy to have alone time. We also sleep apart. I need my own bed, for a lot of reasons, and it just works.

My room is my sanctuary and we end up spending more together time in her room because she's more generous with her space and less of an introvert than I.

So we're a version of living apart together, but we do it under the same roof. I've always liked the idea though of having separate houses and apartments or homes close together.
