Outsourcing is infidelity rebranded. One can argue that a marriage where one partner withholds all intimacy from the other partner is another form of infidelity but at least that action on its own doesn’t justify outsourcing.

I saw this happen with a friend recently and the results were tragic. Outsourcing is a coward’s way to get what he or she wants but doesn’t have the courage to face the reality of a troubled marriage. It’s not a “win-win” for anyone involved. It’s really a “lose-lose-lose” for all three people and you can add even more collateral damage if there are children involved.

My brother told me it was going to take a lot of work to get divorced and it was also going to take a lot of work to stay married. That flipped a switch for me. It’s all just work and I need to do it either way.
