Twitter user @Candee_leigh has riled South Africans up with a controversial opinion on relationships and marriage. The civil engineer explained that her parents spend a significantly large amount of time in their own homes, as opposed to staying together constantly.

The debate between Saffas was stirred up by Leigh's desire to follow in her parents footsteps, expressing that she can only tolerate a man for three days at a time.

Some social media users did not agree with Leigh's opinion

@Sam_Baja shared a lengthy response:

"A person is projecting her parents experiences onto her own relationship expecting to experience happiness in her own relationships without asking her parents why they chose such a life. Why choose unhealthy intimacies habits while expecting meaningful relationships?"

@djTSS_SA said:

"Mina nje it won't last even a year. I will move on if you don't like to be around me that means you don't love me."

@Jdream_sa added:

"If you can't stand your partner for more than 3 days then you shouldn't marry him... this is a weird world we live, like 2 separate houses for married intimate spouses!"

Others wholeheartedly agree with Leigh and want to implement the same arrangement

"I see this working nicely. You'd be able to still keep a good social life, that time apart after misunderstandings goes a long way. It's a nice setup that needs alot, alot of trust with it."

@ZandileKhumal0 tweeted:

"This is what I pray for. I'm not getting married until I find a man who will agree that we should live in separate houses."

@Queen_Matha added:

"We have discussed this option with hubby for later on in life.There is absolutely nothing wrong with this arrangement I think it makes the hearts fonder."
