How long can you realistically live in a marriage that is just about over but keeping it going for the children? Married 10 years, 2 dc (7 and 9).
We're just treading water, no real communication except for about children, tense discussions but no big rows, I'm mostly a SAHM (only work a few hours a week), separate bedrooms for the last 2 years and no physical contact. We only do things / go out together with the children. Neither of us prepared to leave.

Yes, I've got a feeling a might look back one day and regret time we've wasted. I haven't got anything to prove it but I do wonder if dh is seeing someone else though.
