I can't say that I know where you're coming from because I haven't walked in your shoes. I can say that I understand the daydreaming because I stayed married for 19 years to one whose interpretation of our marriage vows was much different than mine.

Well, we got married at the court house, and I don't think that was actually part of the vows...but yeah, I get your point.

In my case, I do not believe it to be a sin, and to be honest, God doesn't weigh heavily into the equation. I think it all comes down to my personal integrity. I'm not a quitter, and I am not the type to dump my problems for someone else to take care of.

I think the biggest struggle is always trying to stay postive. I am still young, I have a long life ahead of me (knock on wood), potentially 40 to 50 years. That is a really long time to be in a empty marriage. More than anything I am afraid that I will wake up in 20 years and feel like I spent the best years of my life in a prison of my own making. And yet, I don't want to fall prey to "the grass is greener" syndrome.
