[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I went through this about 10 years ago.  There was nothing 'bad' about our relationship, just nothing 'good'.  It was just blah.  But the more it was blah, the more tension started to grow because we felt like it should be more than blah.

After much, MUCH, discussion we decided to eliminate the expectation of 'marriage' and just be friends.  We were friends before we started dating, we still thought of each other as friends, looking to each other for advice and comfort.  It was the husband/wife stuff (you don't show me enough affection, why aren't we having more sex stuff)causing our stress.  It took a little while to get used to, but after a month or two we feel into a comfortable pattern that worked for our family (2 little kids at the time).  After about a year we found ourselves turning back to each other romantically.  It's more than 10 years later now and we've been mostly happy since then.  Looking back I'm incredibly happy we did not end up divorcing.  [/quote]
