For me, I would not be with DW except for the kids.  I love her, we parent well, we get along great and enjoy each other's company, but we are more platonic than romantic.  It's a great friendship, but I miss the sex.   I wish her the best, but like most marriages the sex and passion has faded.  I think most relationships run their course after about 4-10 years.  Although we work on our relationship for the sake of the marriage and kids, why on earth would you work on something that would otherwise come easy in a new relationship?

Posts like these make me feel better about my past LTR.  We had a child, we were great parents together, we never fought, got along great, great companionship....but platonic.  Things fizzled out.  I stuck around because everything else was great besides the romance and emotional connection.  Now if DD was never in the picture, chances are we would have probably never been together so long.

Unfortunately we split but now I realize that my situation was not as rare as I thought.  Just wish we could have worked on things early when it started to get stale.  That might have saved us.  Now, deep down, I hope our time apart will help us realize what we had.[/quote]
