Nov 5

Boy meets girl. They move in together. They marry. They have three kids.

Wife decides married life is boring and so is her husband. She moves out and takes the kids.

She moves in with a guy who's an alcoholic. Kids sleep on the floor.

Husband meets another woman and moves in with her.

Wife files for child support because she can't keep a job.

While still legally married, they lead two parallel lives.

Sure, they could divorce on adultery, but they're fine with this arrangement.
