[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kids might pattern there marriages after what they see in the home. And that's the real shame. [/quote]

OP here. What they see in the home is two people who get along. We all have dinner together most nights. We go to church as a family every week. There is plenty of laughter. They see love for them. What they don't see are the things they wouldn't see anyway -- the passion, the sex, the indifference.

I was just struck by the thread the other day about the woman who was leaving her DH and there was so much celebrating and my word you are talking about destroying a family... Her situation could be much different. But I don't think leaving would make everything magically better. I would love for the passion and attraction and joie de vivre to return but just don't see it.

But again, to the original point, I would do anything for my kids and I sincerely believe they are much better off in this loving, supportive environment than the alternative...[/quote]

I understand, OP. Been there. I think a lot of the posters here have neither the maturity nor the perspective to understand this. Many couples have lived this way and put their commitment to raising their children ahead of their own gratification. Kids don't know or care whether their parents are having great sex or an exciting relationship. There are a lot of adults walking around who assume their parents had that, because they stayed together, got along, and treated each other with respect.  LOL [/quote]
