The bad news is, if he is having an MLC then there is pretty much nothing you can do to "snap him out of it". Your only real choices are to stick by him and ride it out or leave.

An MLC is a very real emotional struggle for him; he is dealing with all sorts of repressed issues. This is a good starting point to begin to read up on what he's dealing with.
