Wow these posts have been very interesting and helpful also. I wish you all the best. I have been reading a great deal since coming here last month and 2 books I would like to rec. for those in here and dealing with MLC are When A Mate Wants Out and Men In Midlife Crisis both by Jim Conway. After reading them both front to back at least twice I have a better understanding of the whole male MLC and what they are going through and why these men seem like alien abductees. Developing the patience to deal with it and give them the time and space they need is very hard but it is something we must do at least for a little while if we intend to try and save our marriages. We and only we will know when the time is right for us as the LBS's to stop trying and give up. I hurt for my H as he goes through this, although he denies there is anything like MLC and that he is just doing for himself now what he has always wanted to do. The things I have always held him back from doing. Anyway, we will survive this, remember that which does not kill us only makes us stronger.
