I mean, you can have roommates that you don’t fuck.
I’ve got a number of friends who routinely joke-but-kinda-seriously about fucking off and starting a commune together. We’re all in committed relationships and only get to hang out periodically on the weekends. Would be nice to just be in, like, a single big house or even just a village together. Somewhere that we don’t have to drive 15 miles to see one another.
I don’t think I’ve seen a roommate situation last more than a couple years. Doesn’t seem to be enough of a relationship to overcome the “fuck you, me first” mentality I see in a lot of people where they just kinda…move on when things don’t serve them anymore.
I’ve also thought about the commune thing, but the general consensus I’ve heard from former commune people is “DON’T”. A normal house in a normal neighborhood sounds fine, tbh. Also, I just kinda like being in love as a general…human thing. Poly love just always made more sense to me than monogamy. I just use the financials to justify it to myself intellectually.
