Part-time marriage

One Friday evening my sister and I went out for a drink. We sat down on the terrace and started to gossip when a much older guy, around 40, came over to talk to us. As it turned out he was working in the same building as my sister and he recognized her. This was his opening line.... So he capt talking and talking, until we finally offered him a seat at our table. He tried to impress us by bragging about his education, his hobbies, the different places he lived in the word and his career -which by the way was impressive- and how he just bought a new apartment a year ago not far from the bar we where. I just couldn't stop wondering why is he still single. He wasn't a stupid person, obviously a smooth talker, had no wedding ring.... so i wanted to know if he is divorced, has commitment issues or what's his deal? As he was telling a story about how he demonstrated something to his students -because, at some point in his life he had also been a university professor- I made a remark "wow, you really had a colorful life... that's why you had no time to get married and have a family." His reply was "Oh no, I am married and a father of  two. I came up with a new concept: part-time marriage."
Girls look out..... part-time marriage can happen to you too ;).
