Sorry you are going through this. It sounds like after a rough start, you got on the right track with galing and detaching. Detaching is one the best things you can do for yourself.
MLC=confusion and it definitely sounds like he is confused. Sounds like he peaked out of the fog for a little bit, scared himself and went back in.
If you would like to start a thread of your own, you will get lots of responses and advice. You can either start one under Mid Life Crisis or Newcomers. Post your history, ages and what led up to your H leaving. This site is very helpful with lots of resources and others who have been through it or who are going through it!
If you do start a thread, let me know so I can find you~
