I do have one comment on this from a wife's point of view. If there is no love & the sex is just because the guy wants it, that can very well make the woman feel like a prostitute & if she really doesn't want it, it can feel to her like rape. So just make sure that kind of evrironment isn't happening even with the agreement to stay together for the kids

eskie,
I just mentioned the "dynamite sex" because the OP had professed a... weakness for it early on. It sounds as if his wife was very good at seduction and, if anyone was doing the seducing, it was the wife of the easily manipulated husband. I understand what you mean, but it doesn't seem to be the case here.
But simply sleeping together? Grown people should be able to do that without fear of going into rut if their toes touch. Touch is important to kids (or it was to me) and I would have felt strange if I noticed that my stepmother and dad didn't touch and particularly odd if they slept in different room or beds!
