Peace, Your description of your MLC'er was gut wrenching and so descriptive that I could picture your H in my mind. It tears me apart what these guys do to themselves and family.
"Hiding shame" is something my ex could never do. Now it is a part of him. He seems to forget that he is now an adulterer who has abandoned his family.
So sad, but I know we have light ahead of us, with or without our spouses.
Stay strong
God bless....
