" According to sociologists at the University of Victoria in Canada, it&amp;#039;s increasingly common for women in LTRs to also be in LATRs even if they&amp;#039;re not in LDRs. OMG, WTF does that mean? Allow us to break it down. More and more couples who have been dating for five-plus years (ie, are in long-term relationships, LTRs) and are choosing to live apart but be together (LATRelationship) despite the fact that they&amp;#039;re not in a long distance relationship. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a new and increasingly common partnership form,&amp;quot; one of the lead researchers Laura Funk told The Province, a Canadian newspaper. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a societal change.&amp;quot; Some people think that living apart, rather than moving in together, could work better for certain couples. (Think: When, in Sex and the City 2, Carrie considered spending some of the week at her old apartment because living with Big full-time was getting on her nerves.) Funk and her research partner just began a LTS (long-term study...OK, we made that one up) that will look at couples in LATRs over the course of the next year. As soon as they reveal their findings, we&amp;#039;ll let you know, but in the meantime, we want to get your thoughts on the LATR trend.   poll by twiigs.com     poll by twiigs.com   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
