My wife and I fell apart probably 10 years ago. It didn't help that we chose not to have a second child and we couldn't negotiate birth control... we just kinda stopped.
I do my best not to spend resources (money/time) outside of the family so I never cheated on her. I get most of my emotional support from women at work. There have been three distinct women over the years.
I was going to divorce in 2016 but we made a drastic life changing decision which delayed things.

@SW-User so therefor, by default of explaining your situation. It is evident that lack of intimacy with your partner has naturally made you unhappy ?

@Projecthonest I'm happy. I've had some really great friendships over the years. All but one of my friendships have been with married women.
Am I disappointed that I have to spend time with a woman who just can't be socially "normal" with people (including myself)? Sure. But I'm not unhappy most of the time.

@SW-User sounds good. You’ve got your situation and you’re happy with it, mostly. Nobody can have more than that, I’d say!
