Time for a new thread. Here's the old ones:
No R Talks?????
Baby Steps, Backsteps and Leaps of Faith

Sitch in a nutshell:
H & I friends for 22 years
Together for 9 (common law)
Two boys each (blended family)
S#1 24, S#2 21, S#3 19, and S#4 16

H withdrew (mentally, emotionally & physically) about 2 years ago--very depressed and irritable--lot's of the signs of a classic MLC.
H begins an EA with co-worker 11/02
EA becomes PA early 1/03
I confront, H says he thinks he wants out of R.
We separate, but begin to reconcile.

Individual C and MC and what I have picked up reading DB and reading the stories of other DBers here has been a lot of help.

H & I have agreed on a timeframe (early Sept.) for him to come home, but lots of work ahead.
