My wife was out of her M about 4 years.... However, she was technically only M for 8 months... They lived together as a married couple for only a few weeks because she learned of his addictions.... After that, they lived in separate bedrooms until he moved out... They were supposed to live separately and go to C... He ended up moving out and filing for D.... His loss is my gain!
Take Care,

"Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. That is what makes a marriage last --more than passion or even sex!" - Simone Signoret
