[quote=Anonymous]Or at least the thought occurred to me.  They're in elementary school now, so it's a long way off.  My wife is a great life partner, roommate, and mother.  But she gained some weight (after losing the baby-weight, she gained it back and then some) and lost her libido.  That spiraled into lack of all physical affection.  I initiate almost all hugs, hand-holding, you name it.  She seems to tolerate it.  I'm completely miserable, but I love my children and won't destroy an otherwise happy household just so I can get laid and have some regular affection.  But after they're gone, maybe I will.  I'll be mid-50's when the last kid goes off to college; that's a lot of life to live in a marriage with very little sex and affection.  I hope that once the kids are less of an attention drain that she focuses more on me, but if she doesn't, it'll make the decision all the easier.

But the question for DCUM is this: How damaging is it to children in their 20's when their parents divorce?  [/quote]
