My father and stepmother lived separately but together for more than 3 decades. At one point, they were right next to one another on the same street and at another, they were one street over from one another.

He would come over and do the maintenance and outside stuff on her house and she'd send him home with a ton of food because that's how she nurtured people.

It worked for them and even though I thought they were bananas when I was growing up, I can appreciate the brilliance of it all now that I have my own space.

I would absolutely love to have this set up as long as my partner was within a reasonable distance. For me, that could be up to 2 hours away but most preferably around an hour or less. That's close enough to meet up whenever we want, any time during the week or as our schedules allow.
