How do I know if it is MLC

[bright 2 morro]

How do I know if my H is going through a MLC? Everything seemed fine approximately 5 weeks ago, then he got "depressed". Since then he has found a new W and moved out. He says that he loves me and cares about me but is not in love with me and he is unhappy. He pretty much dropped everything he used to like. He is like a completely different person. New friends, w, and activities. He does not want anyone to know what is happening. He gets mad because some of my friends know. This somewhat tells me that he is embarrassed by his actions, knows he is wrong, but can not stop it.

Today he told me he is starting to look for a lawyer to proceed with legal seperation.

I quite honestly think I may be slightly releived. I guess it makes it easier to move on when you know this.

Can someone offer some input? If this is MLC, what do I have to look forward to? Is there still hope or should I just stop and move on with my life?

I appreciate any insite I can get.
