I've done the sexless and loveless marriage thing. It lasted for 29 years until enough was enough and the circumstances were such that it was definitely time for me to leave. Yes, I did cheat on him and I don't feel guilty about it because by the time I stepped out, we were beyond done.

The reasons for how I timed things are, of course, unique to my situation and far from simple.
