G, I totally get what you're saying and I even agree with it, in theory. I wouldn't consider it but who am I to tell someone how to live their life or negotiate their marriage.

I completely agree with this ^^^ K. Some dating apps are offering it as an option in the section where people say what they're looking for in a relationship.
It's now on CNNs home page. The CNN article focused on couples who were dissatisfied in their marriages for a number of reasons - sexual incompatibility, boredom, lack of the excitement that comes with a new relationship ... in short, so many of the reasons we read in Newcomers and MLC when newbies first land here. What we call The Script.
I know someone whose spouse floated the idea, my friend went along with it because they were scared not to ... within two years they were separated, heading for divorce. The article didn't go into any research about how often that happens.
I would still like to see a follow up with honest stats showing how many of these couples are still together and happy versus divorced, or separated in 6, 12, or 18 months.
