Thank you Mach1. I do accept and admit and feel that. Actually it's sometimes hard to remember what it was like for us to be together, in the same house, with meshed lives, even though we've only been S for 4 months. I read somewhere that the "old M is torn down to create the possibility of a new M being built". Your information makes sense and is quite profound.

Pilot, My H seems to have experienced all 6 stages of MLC except acceptance(6). The depression and withdrawl were so bad right after most recent D day that I was scared he might...do something stupid, though he's never had suicidal tendencies. I understand that the stages can happen simultaneously and out of order. Can many stages be happenning at once? For example three at a time?

This thread is so beneficial to my handling of this for my own sanity and and shreds of a M I might have left. THANK YOU!!
