Living apart together means being in a committed relationship, while not living together.

I think it’s the optimal way for me; I’ve been saying I want a “long distance husband” for years, but didn’t realise until recently that this is a whole social movement.

Stats Canada has a report on LAT which shows that it’s a growing lifestyle choice. It can entail financial privilege, like owning two houses, but some of the people who practice it are already living with others (in a co-op, for example) and just choose to keep their already-working arrangement, while proceeding with a romantic partner who lives elsewhere.

LAT is one of six types of emerging family types recognised by the United Nations.

What do you think of the idea?

Edited to add:

This is the Facebook group for LAT (if you want to join make sure you meet their profile requirements because they turn down a lot of people) https://www.facebook.com/share/g/H45qnDNK8bf9gASR/?mibextid=K35XfP
