Rusty - I sure hope so this time. I can't go through this again, I know that much.
MLC.. confused.. who knows. I think that the biggest problem in our case was that I was depressed for a long time, and I didn't really see it. Top that off with a broken leg and H having to be my "caretaker" not long into our M - and me not quite recovering from it as quickly and strongly as I could/should have (I was depressed and it didn't put "my all" into it). Then.. right around the time the leg thing happened, H started at a new job with a LOT of very young guys who are/were in "party all the time" mode. I mean literally most were just turning 21... I lost track of how many "all nighters" he pulled at bars to celebrate 21st BDays. And then, meeting his "good friend" at work who needed "help" getting out of her marriage... well, it just all came together and WHAM. The actual bomb finally happened when I refused to be around OW anymore (I went through a year of trying to be her friend, ick ick ick). There's oh so much more to the story but that's a very quick summary.
I've come to feel that the "MLC" label doesn't actually mean all that much. I mean it DOES, but I don't think "calling" it that makes much difference.
Did I ever backslide?? OMG.. I really do need to find my old threads.
SD - thank you!! So great to hear from you, I need to catch up on you soon.
