A woman has stirred major reactions online after revealing her boyfriend’s unconventional plan for their marriage.
According to a post shared by Facebook user Auntie Momoza, the lady explained that although she and her partner are financially stable and successful in their respective careers, his vision for marriage has left her deeply confused.
The woman disclosed that she owns her own home in the suburbs, while her boyfriend currently lives in an apartment in town. However, rather than moving in together after marriage, he reportedly suggested that they both remain in their separate homes permanently.
Under his proposal, each partner would continue living independently while visiting one another whenever they wished.
According to him, living apart would help preserve excitement, affection, and emotional freshness in their relationship, as constant daily interaction might eventually reduce the spark between them.
He believes maintaining separate living spaces would allow them to continue missing each other, thereby sustaining passion over time.
The lady further explained that they already have access to each other’s homes through shared keys, though they currently avoid unexpected visits.
Now uncertain about what such an arrangement could mean for their future, she turned to social media users for advice.
In her words:
“Please keep me anonymous. My boyfriend and I are planning to get married soon. We are both working and doing well in our careers. I have a house in the burbs and he has an apartment in town.
He says he doesn’t want us to live together when we get married. Basically, he’ll stay alone at his apartment and I’ll be at my house. We will visit each other whenever we want.
We have keys to each other’s residence, but at the moment we don’t do unannounced visits. He says when we are married we don’t have to report visits. He says living together everyday will eventually make us lose interest in each other. He wants us to miss each other. What do you think?”
The unusual arrangement has since generated intense online discussion, with many questioning whether such a setup promotes independence or signals deeper commitment concerns.
Social media reactions:
“This man wants marriage benefits without full marriage responsibility.”
“If you’re already planning separate homes, then what exactly is the purpose of the marriage?”
“Some people actually thrive this way, but both partners must genuinely agree—not out of fear.”
“Sounds like he wants freedom more than commitment.”
“Marriage is partnership, not a weekend relationship arrangement.”
“Maybe he values personal space, but this should be properly discussed before vows.”
The story has continued to generate mixed opinions, with some people seeing the arrangement as modern and independent, while others view it as a possible red flag about commitment and shared family life.
