I think John is correct about both of your situations being similar. John had some others critique him that he was cynical, but who cannot be in such a loveless lifestyle. I do like it when Kalni calls him a pig in a joking manner.
I am guessing that the reason you are still married is primarily for your daughter and then because of the financial setbacks caused by a divorce. As long as you and D8 are happy, that is what matters. I am kind of at that stage now, but I am free to date when time permits. Eventually, you may desire the loving companionship of a dedicated woman if your W does not ever get out of her MLC or hormone induced selfishness.
My XW's parents were secretly divorced but still living together. Probably for the kids sake and also to "save face" for him in Thai society as I am sure he would not have wanted others to know he was a cheater. Just this evening, I met my ex mother in law who I had not seen for several year. She gave me a hug and various gifts (including gold) from Thailand. Unlike many others, my mother in law is such a nice lady and I did miss seeing her the last few years.
My nephew just moved this last week with his new British wife from RAF Lakenheath to a Langley Air Force base in Virginia. I am enjoying looking at her FB pictures she took as she was getting acquanted to new surroundings in a new country. One of the first things she noticed was that she cant watch Eastenders anymore.
