[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thank you for the replies.

For clarity, this is WAY beyond a situation where we’ve simply moved past the lust stage or lack butterflies. When I say there is no conflict, what I mean is the kids do not see us fighting. There are massive amounts of dysfunction in our relationship. Even though we don’t fight, there is still a lot of toxicity that is only getting worse over time and I do feel overwhelming resentment and disappointment in DH.

We have tried going to couples counseling multiple times over multiple years. It did not help us.

I don’t know where we go from here. But wanted to clarify this is way beyond a situation of me yearning for more romance or something.

This doesn’t sound like a low conflict platonic situation. This sounds like tension and discomfort at home. In that case, I think divorce is better for the kids, if you can provide them a home that is not full of toxicity, resentment, and disappointment. [/quote]

Sort of agree.

But those aren't the only two options.

The adults in the situation should work to create that low-tension environment.  I'm not saying to find love with each other.  That's gone.  But OP said she has anger and disappointment with her husband.  She needs to work to resolve that for the benefit of her kids.  Let that go.  For the sake of your kids.[/quote]
