[quote=Anonymous]OP, to answer your question - my parents split just before I went to college (I am the youngest of my siblings, I was last to leave the house).  I credit my dad that he just moved out and left the "family" home to my mom so my senior year in high school wasn't disrupted.  I also credit my parents for sticking together until I was practically gone from the home so I didn't have to endure split custody and other hassles of a divorced kid.  That being said, my parents then proceeded to hate each other (more my mom hating my dad) but regardless it made the next several years really unenjoyable.  Bottom line, I don't see my parents very often anymore and it is easier this way.

For what its worth, you have my sympathy.  Marriage is a sexual relationship.  If you expect monogamy from your spouse you need to take care of the sexual aspect of your marriage.  Clearly your wife has abdicated her responsibility.  And if she needs something from you to feel sexual, it doesn't sound like she has told you what it is.  A lot can change between now and when your kids leave for college so maybe things will improve.  But I respect people like you who stick it out for the kids when it would be easier to split and find happiness outside the marriage.[/quote]
