This book chapter by Arnaud Régnier-Loilier (2025) in the Research Handbook on Partnering across the Life Course is a three-part examination of living-apart-together (LAT) relationships. It first highlights how LATs differ from cohabiting unions and the variety of situations they encompass from the perspective of those involved. It then discusses how researchers work with available data to study this complex phenomenon. Finally, it explores the prevalence of LATs and the challenges of measuring them.
