Neil, Yes, so many abbreviations...but it's amazing that in a little more than 3 weeks of being here I can read them like a second language.
When I was reading your sitch I was wondering if your wife could be in MLC. It is so hard for me to get my arms around being a W and mother and yet walking out on my M. My 1st H was in a long term A with a friend/neighboor. I do not believe that is the case with 2nd H. I think he may have had a short EA with one of our couple friends, but I think mostly it is MLC triggered by my recent experience with breast cancer. He took very good care of me while I was sick. As soon as I completed treatment - he flipped out.
He is 43 acting out his early 30's. He is not a young 43, and he is not in good physical shape. I worry about the toll his intense partying will take. But I can say nothing.
I am trying to be strong. My close friends keep telling me how strong I am. I don't feel strong. I feel lost.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
