Living separately while waiting for BTO

Hi all, any couples lived separately (1-2 years) after getting married while waiting for your flat to be ready? If so, how to explain to in laws that we want to live separately?

We did because it’s too leh chey and I prefer staying with my parents also. They felt it was weird for a married couple to stay apart but not really actually. Time flies by fast too. We alternate stay at each other’s house over on the weekends instead.

Told our parents that it doesn't make sense for us to move all my things over for just one year and then move everything to the new place so we'll just stay apart for 1 year.

Well, if your spouse have siblings, easier for them to understand, unless if your spouse is a single child then that one quite hard to convince.

Some of my friends do so. I think it is normal if the couple doesn't have children

Most in laws will understand. Anyway you can always stay over during weekends...(:

I think most will understand. My friends are doing so too

Then what's the point of getting married?
