Yes...with my now ex husband. We pretty much lead completely separate lives for the last 6 years of our marriage...he even set up his own little room in the basement and I pretty much never saw him. I stayed because we had young kids but then realized it wasn't good for any of us to live like that, so we finally split up. I realized that the day my daughter who was about 4 or 5 at the time commented that "daddy doesn't seem like a daddy but a man who just lives here"....talk about out of the mouths of babes!

Yes, I stayed out of a sense of responsibility and duty. I also had a "I can not fail" type of an attitude and hoped I could change things. As time went on however I decided life was way too short and happiness was far more important than anything else.

Yes...and I warn you it is a HUGE mistake. I was with my boyfriend for three years. The last year was horrible. Constant fighting, he was extremly emotionally/verbally abusive at times, but I loved him so I stuck by him. Because I stuck with him things continued to get worse to the point where he didn't respect me at all. It wasn't so much in the things that he said, It was in his actions. I knew it was over long before he broke my heart, but I chose to stay hoping that things would get better. I can assure you that they won't, so take a deep breath and walk away while you can still hold your head up. It hurts like a hell, and you'll do a lot of crying, but in the end you'll be so glad you did. You can do it!

only for a little while longer just to see if it would get better, because some times when you first fall in love it is hot and heavy then it kind of cools down and you sometime leave too soon so I just wanted to make sure that leaving was right before I did it.

yeah i did.. and all i did was make it worse.. i stayed with my X husband for 3 years and i knew it was over but i still wanted to make it work and he said he did too but never tried,, then the love just dissapeared.. i stayed because i didn't have no one or any where to go.. i didn't know what to do.. i got married at 18 and turned my back on everyone for him.. so i did stay with him until i met my best friend who showed me that i was a strong women and that i could make it on my own.. good luck..

In a way I did but in another way i didnt. I knew the relationship was over but I dont think that he did. It was funny when I had to let him know what was going on because I had already moved on.

Yeah, I stayed with my husband for 10 years. Hell it was over 5 years before that. But we had kids and it was hard to see myself raising them alone. But guess what, 2 years ago I told him to hit the road and my life is so much better for it. The relationship was draining me.

For about a year and a half I tried to.. but it was never going to work, and no one would have been happy. me and our daughter are better off without him.. he's now locked up for assaulting me after i left him.
