It's a bit strange, but some people don't live well together with somebody else.
They need their own space for a resort, when either the world turns bad on them or the relationship goes sour for a couple of days because of something.
Also, some relationships even happen to exist better with the distance in between. If the people involved had to hang around with each other every day, they'd more get on each others' nerves than have the relationship they had otherwise.
