My MLC Story

[Upside]

Hi SA-
Sorry you find yourself here but this is a wonderful place to come to for support.

Could it be possible that H has been in MLC for a couple years and that's why he shut himself off from us?

Absolutely. I recognized that my H was going through something for about a year before he left.

This time I know there is no fixing him.

This is a good thing. It is hard when you are so used to everyone coming to you to fix things and the one thing you really want to fix, you can't. If you can accept this, you are off to a good start.

I have read that low testosterone is part of MLC. Some even refer to midlife crisis as male menopause. You can suggest to your H that he may have low testosterone but, he may not be in a place where he wants to hear something like that and it is obviously up to him whether or not he gets it checked out.

Lots of MLCers start displaying physical issues. My H now has high cholesterol and blood pressure. I think this does age them rapidly.

Would it be OK to offer H an omelet?

If you would like to offer your H breakfast, then by all means, do it but don't do it because YOU want to.

This is a very long and grueling rollercoaster. It can be worth the ride but I hope you have a strong stomach.
