Val and IMP this is a good thread. Lots of sanity here! I told my h last night, in our crazy conversation, that I found that I really loved living alone and felt very fulfilled. There was audible silence!!! He always thought he was the 'strong' one who could cope alone, and absolutely cannot.
It is true, I enjoy my space, and like myself.
I do agree with IMP about the need for professional help, and the danger of them just sloping back without doing a darned thing to really understand WHY they did what they did. Remorse is a great first step, but after that comes some hard work.
But, it is nice to have a good friend acting normally again. Losing your partner as a friend, and having them turn into a hurful stranger is one of teh nastiest things about MLC.
