Shocking LH has number 3 as number 1. 🙄. I’m honestly amazed ( but to each his own) that for a man I’m his 50’s that is number 1, because that is the one thing that goes away very soon. Unless you are speaking in terms of mental and emotional attraction, not physical. I understand it being on the list, but having it top of the list blows my mind

My cousin is currently in a very toxic marriage she is staying in for her 10 year old son and financial implications. Her and her husband have awful fights. She hates him and is disgusted by him. He’s a mean A hole. They don’t hold back. What their son is witnessing is no way better than having a “broken home “ this home IS broken.

So to speak to what BL is saying, if you are going to stay together for the kids, the relationship does need to be worked on. Even if it’s not a romantic one, there needs to be an agreement for peace on the home. If they are truly what is best for the kids, this would be worked on. They wouldn’t be acting toxic AF on front of the children . I actually don’t give credit to parent who “stay together for the Kids” if they are not working on their toxic behavior. There are parents who stay together for the kids, but live in peace, respect eachother, but the romantic portion of their relationship is gone. That is commendable . But not when you continue to act toxic around the kids in the home .
