This can overlap with "Divorced but can't afford to get separate homes" which is becoming increasingly common in real life. I can't remember a fictional example at the moment.
I asked a while ago in the NRLEP discussion why this is No Real Life Examples Please, more specifically than the non-reason given, and haven't gotten a response. If I continue to get no response for another week or so, I might take it off.

And also because it's really hard to tell if a Real Life couple is this and it might come of as disrespectful, because it's kind of a touchy issue.

Eh, as someone who really wants to find true love and get married, I will do everything in my power to make it work. I won't rush into a marriage either, so if it fails, you can rest assured I will not be on friendly terms with my ex, because it would deeply hurt me.
