[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a serious question for all of you who would treat your spouses the way you say: you don’t seem to have respect at all for your spouse when I hear how you speak of them or how you would treat them in these types of situations.  Why stay with them at all if you don’t have any respect?  None of you like your spouses, would just let them know in 10 seconds you’re going to cheat, or don’t even tell your spouses you cheat.  Why not divorce in order have some respect for your past love/respect for each other?[/quote]

The refusing spouse stays because despite their willingness to deny their partner intimacy, they are getting something else out of it (another/the sole income, cooking, cleaning, involved parent for the children, social status, someone to take to company events, errand runner, handyman, mere physical presence).  The refused spouse may similarly stay because despite the lack of closeness, they may be getting something else from the relationship.[/quote]

What is
The refused spouse getting?  All I hear on here is contempt of their spouse.  Why stay?[/quote]
