Well, there are some people that you don't mind spending all the time free you have with them...and there are couples that live in separate houses also. It all comes to compatibility and communication about wants and needs. Everything is possible I think when two people are committed and fond of one another. And sort thing out together. I don't see it as about romance but rather genuine care for another, to make another part of you, so much that you will act as of yourself, in your actions.
