[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your husband want?  Staying together for kids in misery does more harm than good and will teach them to do the same in their relationships, BAD precedent to set in their lives....get counseling for yourself, then once you have your own footing emotionally, ask him to do marriage counseling together, if he refuses then I would absolutely divorce, you've got a whole lot of life ahead of you.[/quote]

In a low-conflict relationship, where the parents are otherwise good co-parents, do the kids even notice the lack of affection and intimacy between the parents?

I'm in that exact situation and it's not like you can exactly ask the kids, "hey have you noticed that mommy and daddy don't love each other?"[/quote]

I doubt they do. But at the same time, I am unclear on how negative an impact it has to model a relationship for them in which the mom and dad never talk, kiss, or act affectionate. And right now, DH goes out in the evenings to the gym or to visit his friends, so most nights he's not even home until 9pm. What would really be different if we got divorced, I wonder?[/quote]
