[quote=Anonymous]After almost ten years of marriage and 3 kids, I feel like our marriage is pretty much over.  There is constant fighting (at least a couple of fights per week that result in us not being on speaking terms for at least a day) and seems like no real feelings left for each other.  We've just grown apart, which would work if it didn't cause us to fight over every little difference.  No matter what starts the fight we always turn on each other.  There is no abuse, no cheating and both of us are good with the kids.  Youngest is only 2.

I cannot stand the thought of having to share time with the kids after divorce so am seriously thinking about working out some kind of agreement to stay together and be civil to each other just for the sake of the kids.  I am the DW and although still in mid 30s and the same size 2 as when we first married, I am not thinking of dating whether we divorce or not.  I think 3 little kids would make that near darn impossible even if it's something I eventually wanted.

Has anyone actually stayed married like this successfully? Just for the kids.  Made it a long time and kids didn't seem to suffer?  What did it take? [/quote]
