It's good to hear from you, Toddson. I'm glad all is mostly well.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Separate houses is Robert B. Parker's (of Spenser for Hire fame) solution. His wife of 22 years threw him out. He pined. He begged. They bought a duplex...he must seek permission to enter her half. Beyond that? Happy clams.
Fela and I talked about living together before we got so sick and things got strained. Now? I'm glad it didn't work out. Saved by the bug, I guess.

yes, the Parker House is in Cambridge, outside of Harvard Square. EllenBS showed it to me on our first F2F. Ah, memories!
You also see those issues/feelings played out between the protagonist and his SO, in the books.

A relationship I adore. I'm a bit over the Spenser plot(s) but I love hearing what the characters have to say to each other. Especially when Joe Montenga (sp) reads the audio version.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Glad my classic extrovert is also a hardcore reader.

A guy I used to work with and I would often have a "one house, separete wings, DMZ in the middle" discussion. We both thought that would just be an ideal set-up. I still do. He got married after I left... I wonder whether he got his wish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't imagine sharing my space with a boyfriend. However, I've done so many things I can't imagine (and missed out on some I thought were sure things) that I have no idea about how well I might adapt to that happenstance.

I don't have too much of an issue sharing space with TomW... we're both pretty low key when we are on the same floor/in the same room, most of the time. The house has three floors and in decent weather, a backyard so that we can take our private time pretty easily.
However, when my friend moves into the third floor bedroom (temporarily) things may be a bit different... I'm a little nervous, actually.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can totally see, and have suggested on several occassions, sharing a house with friends and/or family. Seperate living spaces and maybe entrances would be key.

I once knew a couple who did the "neighboring condos" things. Seemed to work well. His name was "Clint Wayne" which since he really was a macho type (ex special forces) always cracked me up.
