My H was classic MLC man, but he never looked back and I am afraid those who leave after 30/40 years together rarely ever do. Those who had troubled marriages before MLC hits seem to have more return but often(not always) to more troubled years before leaving again. Maybe had I known about DB way back in the beginning things might have been different but hindsight is wonderful.
I was under the impression that those with the "longer" Marriages do tend to work out, even those whose Marriages that weren't so perfect prior to MLC.
Then there are many who believe their Spouse to be in MLC but they are not, they are simply WAS's.
Perhaps it has alot to do with what they are coming back to they want things to be different, they want to see changes in their LBS.
I don't have any real answers, I am only speculating.....
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
