Is your husband or wife your spouse by law only (marriage certificate)?
do you just share a house and nothing else?

I did for a while...but once you realize that the love is gone, there is no point in staying...

Marriage #1 - I only knew him thee months before we got married. We only went on two dates the whole time. Otherewise, we just hung out at each others apartments. We met in October and by December I knew it wasn't right, but the invites had already been sent out. We were good friends, but sometimes he played dad and I was his little girl. We had children together. Two died, he drank. Other things happened, but we had a son that I loved so much I stayed for 15 years before I couldn't take it anymore and left. I never looked back.
Boyfriend - I knew when we first started dating, but he was nice to me and dated me right. We did the movies, golf, dinner, travel, but was always late for everything, and was into driving rage. I tolerated them and him for 7 years before I couldn't take it anymore. Thank God we didn't live together. Again, I left and never looked back.
I don't know why I stayed with either of them if I wasn't in love. I think I was hoping that someday everything would work out. But it never did. It was safe to be with one person and not all over the page.
I never believed that there was such a thing as "being in love" until I reconnected with my present and forever husband. We'll be married 10 years, in eleven days and I love him more and more all the time. He accepts me and is so good to me. If I had him first (which I did when I was 18) I never would have appreciated him as much as I do. He IS the one.

I'm not married, but I've stayed in a relationship after the love left, just because I didn't have any where else to go at the time. Never again though.

He loves me and takes care of me and does good by me.... am I happy? I don't know? I suppose on the outside I am but I am still searching for something.... He is all I have ever known..... I have given him 3 children and the best years of my life.... I have no where else to go until I find out what I am looking for.....

Yes, I am living proof of that... although I am tired of sharing a house and pretending to be happy when I'm really not. I think it is time I start feeling happy too....

I stayed for about 10 yrs after the romance was gone. I thought I should stay for my kids. That was wrong, wrong wrong. Never stay just for the kids. They suffer too, what with all of the arguing etc....

No. When the love is gone I am gone. But then again I dont have that kind of commitment or kids to think of.

Nope, I am on my own now and ...loving it. No one to answer to and the kids are grown and almost out.
This is what freedom tastes like.

fourscore and 8 years ago our forefathers didn't have satellite or cable TV so watching football on Sunday really had to suck

That's exactly how it is for me.
I'm trying to figure out how to leave without causing too much hurt.
