Alternative to divorce

Here's an article about couples who decide to stay together to raise the kids instead of getting a divorce but stop having sex or a romantic relationship.
Sounds kind of awkward but here's the link:

  1. What's new about this...as one commenter on the article said "It's called staying together for the sake of the children." Personally, I think this does more damage because it puts the burden on the kids. Better to divorce amicably and put your child's best interests ahead of your own by being civil to and about one another and co-parenting rather than one upping and using your child as a weapon against the other parent.

  2. How can displaying to a child a "loveless" marriage be anymore beneficial? That's just teaching them that is how a marriage should be.

    I don't believe in the trajectory downward whatever it said. I have friends (and myself) wroth divorce parents and we are all extremely successful.

    I hate blanket statements.
