You are not alone. Take a look at the MLC board and the information on this site. One thing I have to warn you, people in MLC don't realize it, and will never admit to it, so don't waste your breath trying to point this out to your husband. He's typical MLC. Sounds like he's having trouble with "growing up." Perhaps he wants babies again? Yeah right.... No, but it's exciting, makes him feel young, it boosts his ego that a woman that young would even look at him. It's all a fantasy and eventually he'll wake up and she'll tire of "an old man." With that kind of age gap my guess is it's doomed.
Don't think you can compete with a 23 year old???? My gosh lady!!!! She has NOTHING on you!!! Time to 180, GAL and start your life up! Let go of the leash and go out and have fun!!!! (I know, easier said than done and you are in a lot of pain, but you can get there...)
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
