Do you think Burak and Ceren's decision to live in separate houses is normal?

My cousin and his spouse also made such a decision; they initially said it was wonderful, but they separated within six months. The emotional bond was officially broken because they started to stop sharing their daily lives. They became like flatmates, so one needs to be careful 🙂

So let's talk openly, does being in a relationship mean sharing everything? Burak and Ceren are modernizing their relationship while maintaining their personal space. I think thinking like you is a bit old-fashioned. Why does their choice seem strange to you?

Sociologically speaking, every couple has different boundaries and needs for individuality. Living apart does not weaken a relationship if healthy communication and emotional connection continue. However, if there is an emotional disconnection, it would be better for them to resolve it with a couples therapist.

Here's the thing: I think being in a relationship means sharing the same life. How do you share that life if you're living in separate houses? For example, when you fight, does everyone just go to their own home? I asked because it seems a bit strange to me.

They don't necessarily have to live in the same house in a relationship. The main issue here is consent and boundaries. If both of them have wanted and accepted this, it's not right to question their choice. There is no single right way in relationships anyway. I think it's a very healthy decision.
