DA, I am sorry you find yourself here. It is very tough, at any age, to have a spouse speak words like he did to you. Regardless of whether it is really MLC type behavior or not, he is acting in a manner that is not fair to you and your child. There is controversy whether a QLC (quarter life crisis) exists but personally I do believe in the "illness". His expression of needing space, not wanting the responsibility, with life passing him by can be some sort of crisis.
With his dad being a possible MLCer, he has not had the best role model for being a dad and husband.
Read the materials posted in the sticky threads in the MLC forum and, if you haven't already, pick up Michele's books.
Above all, take care of yourself and your D. I cannot tell what kind of parent your H is being at this point but your D needs one of you to be strong for her. This can be a very long road for you if this is a QLC.
Come back here and post often. There are a lot of great people here and they really care about others.
I am praying for you, your D and your H.
Again, try not to focus on what your H should be doing but what you should be doing. Do not read his blogs. They can only upset you.
