Where did I suggest that she leave him? I meant if they are both ar home together that they get on each others nerves. Dont swear at me!

You don't know that they are getting on each other's nerves. How can you possibly know that?

Oh and if I wish to 'swear' then I will.

Google the work of Dr John Gottman, one of the world's leading experts in relationship stability. He says that, after analysing thousands of couples, he knows it's all over when contempt & critisism find their way into the relationship.

If contempt and critisim have infected your marriage I imagine you would both need to acknowledge that and want to work to fix things. If not, it's probably over, unless you both want to live a miserable existance for the forseeable??

Fair enough, but don't be surprised if you are PPR'd.

Highly unlikely for using an acronym - or there'd be very few people left on MSE!
