OK - Been over reading on HB's thread and a discussion going on between her and Cat04 has me wondering if my H may have been going through a MLC for 12 years. (H had an online EA back then) What I thought was depression brought on by SAD may have been him starting to go into the tunnel and brought back out by one event or the other. Could this be? When he'd come out of his depressed periods it was like we had a renewed relationship for a while and he'd reconnect with me and life and M would be good.

H's triggers seem to be life changing events that the children have gone through. 12 years ago it was when my SS graduated and left for the Marine Corp. This time it seems to be when S26 got married.

This time though he was definitely not going to be denied his journey. Sensed waffling at first, but since I've left him and ow alone he's in it deep it seems. The more detached I've become the more he does. It's like he mirrors me???

You know for ow being the love of his life and all, I can't help but wonder why he didn't run to her 12 years ago. She was divorced and available. I know, none of what they do makes sense. Just the curious side of me.

Any insights would be so appreciated.
