[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I understand, yes 1 is superior for the kids (you didn't ask for you). For your own happiness should you continue on that path, any chance you can at least make it a friendly roommate marriage rather than a zero interaction one? Where you at least enjoy hanging out?[/quote]

Op here. I mean, kinda. We don’t talk very much but we don’t fight. I think we come across as friends or at least coworkers who get along. Unfortunately this seems to be the best we can do at this point.[/quote]

If this is the road you take I think you have to keep trying to find a happy point in your relationship. My college roommate's parents "stayed together for the kids" (her mom literally described the marriage as "a friend marriage, not a passion marriage"). They split up very, very dramatically when my roommate was in college and they felt the kids were old enough. It was a huge shock to the kids because the mom kept leaning on them as her therapists.

Sometimes "at this point" doesn't last forever and couples come out of valleys like this stronger on the other side.[/quote]
