[quote=Anonymous]My sister whom I am very close to, is in marriage of convenience. Her husband is not abusive or alcoholic, or anything blaringly wrong ( he is emotionally closed off--therapists words), but she has admitted to me on numerous occasions she just is not in love with him. She has had an emotional affair in the past, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had another one--as that is what is mainly lacking in her union. The have two beautiful children, and a very comfortable lifestyle. My sister works, but in a non-profit ( still makes decent money by most standards), but her husband has one of those "big DC jobs" and his salary affords them the lifestyle she is accustomed. She is not flashy, this is not about designer clothes---more a nice house in a great area of town, family vacations ..etc.  She asked me yesterday "would it be so wrong to stay in this marriage, knowing its not true happiness, but that it's comfortable and stable"....I honestly don't know? I have never been in this situation and my gut is people stay married for worse reasons--has anybody ever been in this situation and in retrospect regretted it? [/quote]
