Uncoupling  is apparently the new thing to do when you don't want to stay in a relationship with your spouse but you don't want to divorce for whatever reason. 

 

"The Tates, who went with their own version of "uncoupling," believed this was a way to break up their marriage without animosity, but it required an unconventional approach -- Clark and Valerie still live together in the same house, with separate bedrooms, and maintain joint assets, but have an open marriage, meaning they date other people."

 

That's all well and good, except they have a 10 year old son who lives with them and is a witness to what is going on. How can it be okay for a kid to know his parents are dating other people while still living together?
