confused over relationship

is keeping a roof over all our heads a good enough reason to stay in a relationship? My partner and i have been together 13 years we have 2 kids but no longer have a sex life (his choice) no affection either but shows no sign of wanting to split up or be with anyone else.
we get on ok day to day as family but when we're alone or with other couples i realise we aren't really a coupleanymore and haven't been for a long time.
Do i muddle through and get on with it or split up the family just because i'm not overly happy?

Look at the thread 'How do you know when it's over?' - you'll see that there are several of us in the same situation as you and some of the comments may help.

It's hard when things aren't good, but not bad enough to leave. What the hell do you do? A few of us here with you. No answers but big ears!
