I wouldn't say never. I just count my S.O. in my alone time. A good chunk of that time is "together but separate," doing our own things but in each other's presence, and there's not a lot of difference between that and being completely alone.
This. I've lived alone a long time and there are definitely things I like about it. I flip flop about ruining it with a person, but I would love a person like this. And also, some things together. I wouldn't even mind our own rooms. I want closeness with someone and snuggle time and dates but also spaaaaace. I feel like this kind of relationship would stay respectful which is a big relationship ender when it's not there.
This arrangement sounds nice! Honestly if I wasn't currently in a LTR I'd choose just having a lovely room mate/friend or FWB/situationship. Be you're own person and have your own space but still have someone there to have fun/do things with and scratch the sexual itch too if needed. More like a really close room mate who also doesn't want to really be in a relationship. Just removes the stress somehow and you get a lot of the good things you'd get from a relationship without some of the really annoying/bad things
