[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP again. I'm tired and want to reply but am feeling emotionally drained right now. Really I just want to say thank you so much for all of your supportive replies.  So many good points were made and I am sorry others of you are going through similar situations. [/quote]

Hi OP, I am a man here in a similar situation.

Wife and I sleep in separate rooms.  We have two elementary school age kids.  We get along ok, we co-parent well.  I work, she SAHM.

We have occasional sex, usually at my request.

The irony is we are both very upbeat, positive people.  But have really run out of chemistry.  And very little to bond over.  If we didn't have kids, we could wish each other well and admit the relationship was successful for what it was.

What I find is that is helps for us to go out separately, or in a group setting.  We have fun on group dinners.  We do well when we don't spend alot of time together.  We start grating on each other when we force us together.  I don't know if that makes sense.

I don't think divorced people are happier.  Sure, the ones in toxic marriages are happier, how could you not be?  So I try to see all the good, all the low conflict.  It doesn't seem worth throwing it all away for the chance of slightly greater happiness and my kids expense.

Question - do you care for each other?[/quote]
