Who holds the record....

I was just trying to figure out how long someone can stay in a broken marriage without trying to fix it. Surely some can say "a lifetime" and others would be single before the next weekend. I wonder who holds the record for the longest time in a loveless marriage? And can they document the record (a notarized statement from the spouse should suffice)? It seems to me the "staying together for the kids" would put the record around 17 or 18 years but there may be other considerations. And what if the kids never leave home, that could extend the record. I can see it now, "we are staying together for the grandkids".

Seems to me that attempting to repair the marriage would be better for the kids, grandkids, great grandkids, etc., just my opinion.

Take care, see ya
