[quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I agree, we stayed together because of kids, and  it has definitely gotten better. There were a couple of years where I couldn't imagine spending the next 30-40 years with my spouse. Really made me recoil in horror.

I've just accepted the fact that I am married and marriage is good overall. It is better for me, better for the kids to have a stable, good man in the house with us. Logistically, it makes things easier to have a partner.

I do feel I'm missing out on joy, but I might not have that joy anyway without DH in the house. So. Here I am.

I like the PP who said once she embraced the idea that she chose the stay her resentment evaporated. I'd like to to take that a step further and find joy in marriage again.

What is the reward of staying with somebody I feel lukewarm about for the next 30 years? Stability. Children. Grandchildren. Platonic love and care. Sex, because yes, we have sex even though I don't really feel that way about him at all, I can have and almost enjoy the sex.[/quote]
