Part-time relationships

Orthographic transcription
Now there’ve been plenty of examples in the past of people who’ve lived
together for a long time deciding, once the children are up and off, that
they’ll separate but they’ll stay together. They live in separate houses but
continue the relationship. Well there’s now a move towards beginning a
relationship in a similar way. As Valentine’s Day approaches, a new website
called ‘part-time love’ has been opened, aimed at bringing together people
who’d like a relationship but want to keep their independence from the
outset.
