I know the answer will be different depending on what stage of life you are in, if you have young children still at home, etc., but how many people would stay in a marriage that has basically become a roommate-financial situation? Amicable because you make it a point to be so. No abuse, nothing terrible or ugly going on. Just the bland small talk kind of relationship you have with general acquaintances. Nothing in common but history and grown children, no common interests or stimulating conversation, and utter and complete sexual dysfuntion that cannot be overcome. Some people say that once you hit 50 if you can get along comfortably just stay-the sex won't matter much longer anyway. I think that's a horrible thing think! Maybe it's not the most important thing, but if you don't have real,deep friendship or soul connection either, how can you call that a marriage? Assuming that you've tried everything with no results how many would stay and how many would leave even if it meant financial hardship? ( I wonder - Is is possible to give your detailed opinions as well as answer the poll?)
