As I said before, all outward appearances would indicate a regular functioning family, but inside there's an absence of trust and a hollow marriage.
Makes you wonder how many other couples you think are happy and functioning are actually in the same situation behind the scenes. Not something to take pleasure in, but you're not alone.
I literally had that same thought as I typed. Or, the number of unhappy married couples that aren't actually planning to divorce, but just playing out the string for the sake of the kids, fear of the unknown, etc. And living in just as much misery (or almost) as a WAW/LBS circumstance.
