Hey Mila,

I've been reading your sitch right along and often ache for what we are both going through. As I've said before, for us the MLC has taken not only our spouses and best friends, but our business partners as well.

When my H first started leaving - first it was an hour or so early on friday, then lunchtime, next it was he'd come in to the office for only an hour in the morning and then dissappear.... This was the first time that he actually took off mid week. When I tried to address this with him, he just said that he thought that he made things too easy for the staff, and that with him not being there they should learn to appreciate any help he might give them.

I could only shake my head. Yeah, when he leaves for his funtime, the work doesn't get any less, we just all have to shoulder a piece of what he's not doing. When he's gone if the D does happen, I'm going to have to try to hire someone else to help us. Its a pain in the rear, but at least the whole business won't collapse. Its just hard to work, I feel such an absence when he's not there, yet I still have to do my stuff, commiserate with the staff and try to keep them from being frustrated, make sure things get done, and not fall apart emotionally.

The lightsabre really had me scratching my head. Is he going to play Starwars with the OW?
