Do you think that wifey wanting to stay married but not living with her husband is just her wanting a dead bedroom or to monkey-branch?

Living apart can be a way for women to reap the benefits of marriage — love, commitment, support — while avoiding the burdens that traditionally come with being a wife, including the disproportionate amount of work that tends to fall on them at home.

my opinion: By "burden", wifey is referring to "supplying poon on tap".

I think you missed the point...

Listen, being with the same person, and not having alone time to recharge can be pretty wearing. This is why guys go fishing, hunting, even video gaming alone...

I'll admit I've had moments when my gf's collection of STUFF aggravated me and I just wanted whatever clutter to be just my own. People need their space, and if that works for them then great.

So, in March 2022, Ms. Ordway, 62, found an apartment in Columbia, a 20-minute drive from Mr. Ordway,; she also got a job as a shuttle driver at the University of Missouri, which allowed her to be more social. They visit the other’s home a couple of times a week, and speak on the phone every morning and every night.

The decision has stuck. Though pandemic restrictions have eased and their child has left school to work, the distance is working for them. “It feels like we’re dating again,” Ms. Ordway said.

There is a red pill writer who has a separate bedroom and kitchen for his OLTR wife. Because he likes to sleep alone, and is particular about his cooking. Many long married men have a Man Cave to retreat to so he doesn't have to watch Hallmark Movies with the wife. Many folks recommend only seeing "Plates" once a week to keep things fresh...

I doubt any of you have had a roommate for over 5 years. No matter whether it is the person you love most, sometimes you want your space and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
