BND, I think you're going to be one of my MLC forum role models. The advice you give to others is the voice of experience, and someone who's further down the path in terms of internalizing and practicing the skills needed to cope and thrive with these types of situations.
I'm posting in the Piecing forum, but my W has returned to her sleeping elseshere behavior. I receive wonderful support from folks in the Piecing forum, and was hopeful that my W and I could move forward. The reality is that we're not Piecing, and that I need to adjust and develop skills to cope and thrive with my situation, like others in this forum.
I look forward to joining the MLC community. Maybe I'll start a thread here, so that people will get to know me and my situation, and transition to this forum. The pace of this forum is different than Piecing.
