Never. You are missing out of so much romance and things if you do that.

There are so many marriages that are a marriage of convenience. It can be for many reasons: children, money, fear, etc. This is really a sad situation because you are living in a passionless relationship with no real intimacy. A lot of times, the couples still talk, but it is about superficial things. You don't really know each other anymore.
What is really sad is that the children don't have a model of a healthy relationship to learn. So many times people stay for the kids and it only hurts the kids. Children would be better off with divorced parents that get along than married parents that don't.

Staying in a relationship for convenience is like walking around day to day in a kind of death like state. There's no real love, no passion, life's too short for accepting second bests. Too many people often think they don't deserve any better and so they settle. Before they know it, 40 years have vanished into the same day to day existance, and the realization suddenly comes hammering at the door telling them that they've wasted their chance of real happiness and now its WAY too late, and there's sod all they can do about it.
Being single is better than convenience relationships, hell most things are better than convenience relationships.

That depends on the relationship. If its marriage and you just hit a rocky patch, dont be so eager to give in. In today's throwaway society everything is based on if its not working just get out. You need to work at it for as long as there is trust and honesty, dont give in. If its a situation where there has been too many indiscretions, affairs, lies, cheating, money problems and the like and it has been endless then if you havent already, sit down and thrash it out. If after that there is no possible way then get out. You havent given any information as to whats happening or what the situation is so its difficult to give an opinion.

You should never just do something because it is easy. Life is suppose to be challenge, as I sit here sometimes I feel I have done the same things. I have pushed this to end up doing only the things that were easy. Well now I am going through the hardest thing in my life, letting go of all the bad and starting to find myself again.
Do what is best for you, not what is easiest!

Should *I*? No...that's doing a disservice to myself and the other person. I can think of no "convenience" worth being in a relationship with someone I wasn't crazy about. I've already done the "settle" thing...I won't walk that path again.
Should YOU stay in it? Depends on the situation...that's for you to decide but sure seems a waste of Life when better options are available.

The question is, Are you staying because it's convenient or because you are dependent on the other person? Convenience has saved many relationships during difficult times. Dependence is an emotional state that borders on depression. Your self image spirals down ward and that's never good.

No. Because it is therefore based on a lie. Thus it is not a real long lasting relationship. That of course depends on whether or not you value your security over love.

Absolutely not. If you don't love your S/O, get the hell out of the relationship. But whatever you do, for the love of God, DON'T cheat on your S/O. For one thing, cheaters are the scum of the earth. For another, karma has a way of biting a person in the ***.
Just get out, and stop being a user.

No matter what anyone says, we all stay in relationships for convenience. For example, we don't cheat on our spouses because it's convenient not to go through the hassle a divorce. It's convenient to have a partner is this life. No matter what anyone says.
