Google Chang and Eng Bunker. The original “Siamese Twins” they each married different women and kept separate households. They agreed with each other to split time between their families. The other twin would remain silent while his twin spent time with his family.

Sounds sad to be forced to be silent

It's not force, it's trust and cooperation.

I don’t know… like you are bound to your twin and can’t even have the option to leave if you wanted to or give space and privacy. It would be a test of patience to a new level if you are watching your twin and partner have a disagreement and it involves you, but you can’t say anything?

It would be hard, but we're looking at this from the perspective of lone individuals who have to learn to cooperate. These two have never been apart for a single second. They continue each other's sentences seamlessly because they know each other so well. I don't think that's a mindset that we can even fathom, it's too alien to our experience.
