[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of French women tolerate this. If you're not providing a good sex life for your husband and/or you lack a sex drive, what do you care? As long as he doesn't have more children and you maintain your lifestyle, so be it.[/quote]

I am a previous poster who provided a personal example, and my husband and I shared a healthy sex life and kept ourselves fit and attractive.  In my husband's case, at least, it is a textbook mid-life crisis and his continuing actions provide him daily validation.  I understand where it comes from, based on his past, and have empathy for him.  But it is hard to tolerate, and I think that those women you mention who agree to this type of "don't ask, don't tell" arrangement on a prolonged basis, do so only if, (1) the husband still comes home most nights and is still part of family life; and/or (2) the wife has the freedom to enjoy her own lover(s).  The former is not the case for us, and the latter is against my values.[/quote]
