I think you can boil this down to what you do with the time your spouse is in MLc...or how long you are an LBSer...
How long your remain an LBSer makes more sense...since it is up to you.
Do you waste the time?
Do you sue the time?
I am GRATEFUL to be an LBS. Not because of the relationship I have...but because of who I am. And Who I am, helps in whatever relationship I have. I am better for becoming better.
