Or rather, what is there not to like for the women in any given couple? In the New York Times this week – sound the klaxon – adrops on the growing numbers of women in the US who, post-pandemic, are opting to sustain the separate household model of marriage, established during lockdown by some families to reduce Covid transmissions, and proving so preferable to the norm, apparently, that they’re in no hurry to reunite with their husbands.
I confess, I’m biased in this area. I live with my kids, but I’ve never cohabited full time with a romantic partner. The luxury of deciding when people come and go in your house is a hard one to relinquish and once you get used to not living inside someone else’s emotional weather – the idea of it makes me simultaneously panicked and livid – it’s very hard to give it up.
