The study, which was carried out by researchers from the University of Bradford, Birkbeck, University of London and NatCan Social Research, also revealed that a third of those living separately are doing so because they feel they aren't ready to move in with their partner.
It found couples were now more likely to work through a relationship, rather than rush into big decisions such as living together or marriage, while commitments such as children, family, friends and work all factored into the decision to choose to live apart.
A further third of those asked, said they lived apart due to commitments outside of the relationship, such as having to work or study in different locations.
Professor Simon Duncan from the University of Bradford said: "Living apart together allows people to meet their needs and desires in balancing closeness and personal autonomy, and at the same time to adapt to external circumstances.
"It enables them to find time and space for other family or work commitments, to deal with the difficulties of finding housing, to grapple with relationship problems, or just to allow their relationship to develop at its own pace."
