[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in our 60s and have been married for decades and now have grown kids and grandkids.  We basically live in separate houses (our city house and our second home) and are basically just never alone together.  But we get together as a family all the time and when we do we manage.  We even sleep in the same bed.  It's not a big deal.

The kids all know that we're living separate lives now and they've adjusted fine.  It is what it is.  We never fight, we're very civil to each other, our finances are completely shared and open and we have no issues with any of that.  Neither one of us has any interest in "dating" -- even the thought of it is laughable -- so whatever.  Why divorce?  There's no need for such drama.  Be adults.[/quote]

Sounds like my parents.  They have separate rooms in both houses and live separate lives, but they come together for the holidays. They're kind of tense when they are together, and only recently have I realized that all the tension is coming from my mom.  I think the resentment has reached a boiling point, and now it's just total contempt on her part.  I do not think that when my dad gets sick first, she will take care of him.   She'll leave him in the other house and let us kids deal with it.  [/quote]
