[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in my mid forties in a meh marriage. I don’t doubt I could have more fun and enjoy myself if I were divorced.

My in laws are divorced. It is a huge pain and burden coordinating and planning separate sets of in laws. One side is basically not seen for most holidays. Our divorced friends’ holidays seem more stressful and unhappy.

I want my kids to come to their family home after college, thanksgiving, etc.

And while in your forties, you feel attractive and free. I am pushing 50 and I can feel myself aging. I don’t think I want to go have sex with strangers. It doesn’t sound appealing to me.[/quote]

Ok, then stay married 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

+1. I don’t know why this woman even posted. obviously she has a decent marriage worth staying for but a lot of people are divorced because they didn’t have a good marriage worth staying for, which has nothing to do with sex. if my marriage had been decent, yeah I wouldn’t wanna have sex with strangers either in my late 40s but my marriage sucked so this alternative is much better. (in fact when I was married, I didn’t even have sex for a decade and I couldn’t stand my in-laws and there were a lot of other problems.) I much prefer spending fewer holidays with my children alone then spending holidays with my husband or ex-husband. I’m looking forward to when they go to college and when they come home I just get to see them and I don’t have to talk to their dad at all anymore instead of coparenting. Obviously, her marriage is good enough to not even post. [/quote]

I don’t have a decent marriage. Sure, there is no abuse and no cheating. DH earns a high income and helps with kids and house. Our actual marriage sucks and if it weren’t for the kids, we would be divorced by now. I have thought about divorce for the past decade. The thought of being with DH after kids leave is quite depressing to me.[/quote]

Isn’t that the state of over 50% of marriages though? Women by far are the most unsatisfied in a marriage and it amazes that they keep believing in the institution. It’s crazy. [/quote]
