If it makes you happy then I guess it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You are not freaks and as Allan says you are certainly not the only people who live in these circumstances. |

If the truth be told, probably a lot of couples have slipped into 'friendship' rather than 'lovers'. In some situations being joined at the hip can be claustrophobic. |

It's nobody's business but yours (and OH's). |

I have seen the same thing happen to many of our friends, so you are not on your own and if this arrangement makes the two of you happy then ignore other folk. |

My brother and sister in law have one holiday a year together - with sister in laws sister and her husband. Every other holiday they take separately. They also have totally different hobbies. They reckon that's how they've been happily married for 40 years!! |

We have had our own bedrooms since we got together, could never get a good night's sleep even in a kingsize, so it made sense. I know what you mean about people thinking these things odd, but some are far too judgemental and make quick assumptions. We love each other dearly and it doesn't mean we don't do a bit of bedhopping! |

I love my other half but we also live separate lives to a great extent. He started sleeping in the front bedroom after an operation and I was nervous of catching his operation site. |

Looking at it from another viewpoint, as parents we were not supposed to comment if our children were sleeping with someone they were not married to, however we felt about it, so why should they feel that they have the right to comment on our living arrangements. |
