My boyfriend and I have been together for over eight years, yet we don't live together. I thought I'd live with a partner eventuallyYet, this way of having a relationship still came as a surprise. Alexandra Saville always thought she'd live with a partner one day, but living separately from her partner works for them. Our relationship has always felt differentI'd had boyfriends hold back that intimacy like it was a secret to be kept. I've known his son for over half his life, and we have our own unique and strong relationship, despite the non-conventionality.
