ok next question...when people say to give the MLCer space, does that mean if he is watching tv in the living room, I should leave him alone (like find something to do in another room)? Should I figure when he works things out...or if he is on an "up", he'll come to me? Or should I try to keep a more friendly vibe going? I'm not mean or cold to him...in fact, I am nice & upbeat around him...but if I don't get the impression that he wants to talk, I have started to go into my office, hang out on the computer, work, etc.

I don't mean this in a sense that I haven't detached & am trying to elicit a response from him. I just wonder the best way to keep things on friendly terms (or does it even matter - should I figure he just needs space & treat him as an acquaintance)?

Is it typical that the MLCer will not touch me & make sure that we NEVER do anything alone together? Is my H just a really mad MLCer?

I guess the answer to all these questions as Jimbo put is is Who the hell knows...!
