Don't all marriages end up like this?

I am staying because:
1. Money. Separate homes are more expensive. Kids need college tuition. Retirement is less expensive as a couple. 
2. Social life. Our circle is all married, with all more or less similar marriages. There is a lot of stability there, all the kids are happy and balanced. Divorce would be disruptive to our community of friends and families.
3. I don't really want to live by myself, and finding another partner and learning to live with a new person just sounds like a giant hassle!

I divorced at 42 after a 10-year marriage. Money would have been the only reason to stay. I have been way more successful since divorcing...the man always held me back.

No. 2 and No. 3 were not relevant in my situation. We had no shared life at all...and I love living alone. I was never ever comfortable living with him.
Also, we were sexless for 7 years.

You seem like the type that should not divorce. I definitely made the right decision.[/quote]

Do you have children with him?  If so, how much did that factor into your decision?  [/quote]

Yes, kids. But it was not the plan. Kids were not a factor. They have a great childhood. Nothing worse than modeling a dyfunctional relationship. We barely spoke. My kids are fine. We coparent find and much better than pretending in a crappy marriage. [b]Divorce did not impact them much at all. [/b][/quote]

This is delusional. They are certainly impacted and you are downplaying it for you own sake. Wake up, lady[/quote]
