[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people say staying together is a bad idea where there is no animosity or yelling and just a drifting apart.  I may consider splitting up once kids are out of the house just so we can each find joy for our second act.  But I love providing an intact family for my kids.  Even if we split, spouse and I will still be on good terms.[/quote]

You must think your kids are unintelligent then.  Kids are actually very smart and pick up on this lack of love.  And it can effect how they behave in their own relationships down the line.  I found that out the hard way, and have heard many many stories in a similar vein.  Please ask any kid who grew up like this if they are glad their parents stayed together. [/quote]

I’m one of those kids. My parents are still together even though they clearly don’t like each other much and never have. My mom especially was always lonely and drank too much to deal with it. My sister and I both divorced and have no intention of ever marrying again. [/quote]
