Actually, for me, when the sex ended, so did the relationship. I only stayed once because I had two children with her and they were still very young. I was working full time and had to take a job I hated because it allowed me to work from home and thus take care of my children too. She was too lazy and hateful to even change a diaper or give them a bath! All she did was watch tv and EAT. She went from 120 lbs when I met to well over double that! So I got an open gf, which she said was ok, "as long as I keep paying for everything untill our youngest was 16"! My youngest was five at the time! I told her that I don't need her permission.
Ironically, I divorced her when she starred abusing my children when I went away for a week. I went to court to ask for the divorce and custody, but the satanic judges, her lawyer, the "children's" lawyer, and children's "aid" worker were all jew and of course sided with the mother, even though my children BEGGED to stay with me. So she got full custody and more than half of my assets, including the huge house I owned outright.
Anyway, I got to quit my crappy job, go back to the gym, get back to 10% body fat, put on more muscle and met a hot, slim Chinese woman who gave me two more gorgeous children! My ex is still hateful and gets more obese every time I see her, which thankfully is only from the driveway a couple of times per year when she comes out for a few seconds to say some crap when I'm going to see our children. Thankfully they are almost adults now and will thus soon be able to come live with me and my other children.
And in case you're wondering, I only went back to seeing MPAs this year as my Chinese gf went back to china when the regime here shut down her business over this plandemic. At least she was decent enough to ask our children if they wanted to go with her or stay with me, unlike my ex satanic gold digger that only wanted the children for the "child" support and to hurt me.
Sadly, I haven't learned my lesson and want to get married again, but it won't be in this satanic/zionist regime run cuntry, where the jew shysters designed the so-called laws to enrich themselves and hurt children upon divorces. I plan to relocate soon.
