ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: During the last years, living apart together relationships came into the focus of research. Some things are already known about individuals in this specific type of relationship. They have, for example, the lowest relationship satisfaction compared to cohabiters and marrieds. Furthermore, different approaches for defining subgroups exist. Nevertheless, little is known about the development of the relationship for individuals in LAT relationships, and the differences between LAT subgroups. With the interdependence theory and the life course perspective as a guideline, this work investigates the influence of life stages of LAT individuals on changes in their relationship satisfaction. Four life stages are defined: Never cohabited, cohabited before, single parents, and divorced/widowed. Three waves of Netherlands Kinship Panel Study are used. The analyses show that some items indicating the relationship satisfaction increase while others decrease. Further, the life stages do not significantly influence changes in relationship satisfaction. Nevertheless, there are some differences.
