I go to mine and his house and stay for a month, or he comes to my home and stays for the week end, and honestly I hate it, but it is the only way that it will work at this time.

Good for you two for thinking out of the box. In every relationship I've ever had, there is inevitably something about the person that rubs me the wrong way after a while. Maybe they snore. Maybe they're a slob (although that's never bugged me, lol.) Maybe he's the most wonderful man in the world, but he can't stop chatting endlessly and you're a writer and need peace. More relationships could be saved if people were creative like you. Just wanted to applaud you. And I like your blog. Jennifer, I love this idea! Good for you two for thinking out of the box.

She has a husband?!", so I was glad for this explanatory post. :) I never thought I could be married because I'm too much of a recluse, but you've opened my eyes to other possibilities. :) That picture is great; you both look so in love.

We talk every single day and see each other every week, but (and I guess it's weird?), we both love to spend a ton of time alone. This may sound really lame, but after 14-15 years, the living apart makes it seriously feel like dating to me (as in the excitement/fun/enthusiasm part). So, no, not an open marriage. (But you are the second person who has asked me that lately, so obviously I've lost touch on how unusual this is...) Jennifer Dear Jessica,

Me and Duncan pretty much spend 24/7/365 with each other and have done so for many years (even before our marriage). Shit, don't you miss him? Do you have an "open" relationship? Different strokes for different folks! Thanks for sharing, I was wondering, actually. :) Sorry to comment on such a old post, but wow I don’t think I could do that!

I thought I was odd; but i feel better seeing your relationship is also like this. Plus, I live in my Class A Seabreeze RV. I don't mind driving it by myself. :-) I am glad I am not the only person in a marriage where we don’t live together!
