N2  - 'Living Apart Together' is an in-depth look at a new way of being a couple and 'doing family' - living apart together (LAT) - in which committed couples maintain separate residences and finances. In Bowman's own 2016 national survey, 9% of respondents reported maintaining committed relationships while living apart, typically spending the weekend together, socialising together, taking vacations together, and looking after one another in illness, but maintaining financial independence. The term LAT stems from Europe, where this manner of coupledom has been extensively studied; however, it has gone virtually unnoticed in the United States. This book aims to remedy this oversight by presenting original research derived from both randomized surveys and qualitative interviews
