You're married to someone for 40 years and you only writ them notes...

In my writing group, one man wrote a story about two different novelists who were in love with each but just couldn't get along because their literary styles were different. Another writer in the group told the story of a friend of her parents who lived in the same house for 40 years and never spoke too each other. They slept in separate bedrooms and everything. Apparently, they had some big fight when their daughters were little and never talked again but decided it would be better for the children to have two parents living under one roof rather than getting a divorce. I'm sorry but I think this is crazy. What does that tell your children about how to conduct relationships? And what they deserve from a significant other? Do you think either one of those girls is going to grow up with a healthy sense of proper relationship behavior? I don't know them, but I would personally guess not. What do you all think?
