[quote=Anonymous]I doubted getting married and thought of divorce many years ago right before finding out I was pregnant. I have never been all into the marriage as a result. There are two kids now.

Most of the years we have been married have been sexless (both our faults…low testosterone, my resentments over certain things, not wanting to use hormonal birth control again, etc.). The emotional and physical intimacy is so lacking, it is horrible. We are good parents and excellent roommates.

We had an argument recently that was very bad. He said he wanted a divorce (he has threatened this before in stupid arguments). There is a family issue now where I don’t want to interact with his parents ever again. I called an attorney the next day. A few days later I suggested we get a mediator. He apologized and said he does not want a divorce. I said if it weren’t for the kids, I’d already been out. And I have felt like this for years.

I am not sure if the right thing to do is to keep going through the motions for the kids because they don’t know anything is wrong or really move toward living separate lives. It’s difficult to stay when you really don’t want to be in it. But co-parenting seems worse than marriage. He would not want an open marriage…I would actually consider that. Opinions?
