My brother and his wife are really getting on my nerves. They got married back in '97 they have 3 children. They had what seemed to be a cool marriage. She's kinda bossy and he can be real immature, but they made it work. She's a college professor and he's a pain management doc. They were loaded.
Anyway, after a few affairs (1 by her and who knows how many by him) they separated in 2001. She has since been peas in a pod with the man she "stepped out" with and they had a child in '03. They're talking marriage.
My brother has been out of control ever since with a few "mainies" along the way. He's living with a woman who used to work as his nurse. But he won't call her his girl friend.
They don't have anything to do with one another. They don't love each other anymore. But they get along like brother and sister. The kids are well adjusted and they spend equal time with both parents. I just don't get why they're still married.
What's up with that?

It's not the money they're rich. It is my business because they both talk to me about it and ask for legal advice. The one guy said it's cheaper to keep her. Probably.

You said they are both loaded and they are not willing to give anything to the other partner. Like the song say it's cheater to keep her.

Its none of your business. Perhaps because they haven't wanted to spend the money on the paperwork yet. Its over for them and they have figured it out. Perhaps because if they are seeing someone else who brings up marriage they have a ready made reason why they can't do it just yet, they aren't divorced. Basically doesn't matter, its just the paperwork and apparently doesn't bother them any. I honestly am still married haven't seen or spoken to him in so many years I can't even remember how long its been, I don't know where he is I don't care, I just haven't seen a reason to waste a couple thousand dollars doing the paperwork yet and apparently he hasn't either. Last time i got divorced I just waited until they wanted to get remarried then they paid for everything, worked just fine!

Maybe they are both "enablers". Neither one is ready to commit to a new relationship, so the fact that they are not truly single works as a good excuse.

Codependent and need to make the final break. Both sound very immature.

Why question it. If the kids are fine everything is ok. Let them do what works for them.
