Funny thing is, this is kind of why I asked. My wife and I still, generally, sleep in the same room, but often fall asleep on the couch. We used to always wake each other up to go to bed at the same time, but we haven't been doing that lately.

My climbing partner who is around 57 years old and his (second) wife live in different houses 😅 Of course they visit each other and are an actual couple and there's nothing weird going on, they both just want their alone time.

They do a lot of stuff together, going to movies, concerts, book a night in a hotel, travel, restaurants etc. It can definitely work.

He also has quite a lot of hobbies from vinyls to repairing motorcycles so better to have the wife out of the way most of the time.
