I honestly dont know why. I would never stay with someone who was cheating on me. I believe FIRMLY that life is way too short to be so miserable.

There are a lot of reasons they might be staying married. 1) The marriage works for them -- they are okay with the extramarital sex (it does work for some people); 2) they have religious or spiritual convictions that preclude divorce; 3) they truly love each other and believe that they can change/fight for the marriage (maybe using a marriage counselor?). Those are the 3 reasons that I can think of off the top of my head.

I believe that those people are afraid that there is no one else out there for them. They have spent all that time in that relationship and it was all wasted now they have to start again it could be scary for some. Also if you really love that person you try to do whatever you can to safe the relationship and you get to the point when you are just fooling yourself. But if they are cheating on each other and both know about it then I don't know.

Most of the time it's the kids, but I see here there are no kids involved. There could be many reasons why they cheat and stay together. Perhaps they love each other and each gives the other what they need at home, love, compassion, caring, tenderness, but neither offers the nitty gritty. Some people do it for the passion, some because they cannot stand to think of their spouse judging them when it comes time to reveal and dirty fantasy, some for the thrill and danger of it.
If they know each other are cheating, perhaps they are married for the reason that they do not want to be alone, but are wanting to be with others as well. Some people agree with "open" relationships.

Unless there's abuse, they should stay married. the problem with our society is our microwave mentality. "It isn't working" means to most I couldn't fix it this week. Look at the trailer trash examples we get from Hollywood. You probably have bought into the mentality that they protray that marriages are disposable after they no longer make you happy. Happiness is an emotion and, as such, is fleeting. Unconditional love, what marriages are supposed to be, is a decision. Today's couples don't know the meaning of commitment and respect no one but themselves. Marriage should not be entered into unless you love and respect the other person unconditionally.

The commitment thing. The promise thing. More importantly the hope thing. If you are a third party to this marriage, you may be getting the marriage isn't working so we can have a fling thing.
Its possible that sexual fidelity isn't a priority with this couple and there are other things that keep them together. If not they will separate eventually.

marriage is like being partners in a firm, it's hard to split that firm even if the partners don't always agree but the firm is doing good. It's when the firm starts to fall apart that the partner split.
this couple you are talking about finds that staying married to each other is less damage than splitting, apparently they r not happy, but the plan works for them so they r ok

Giving up on a marriage is a big deal, and should be. Having a spouse is also a safety net. You may not be all that happy but aren't alone either. There are lots of reasons good and bad. Maybe they just aren't ready to throw in the towel.

IF their both cheating, then neither one has found another who will actually want them for good!
They will more than likely remain in a loveless, cheating marriage until one does find another who will have them.
