Wow! While there are a lot of things in common between males and females in MLC, there are also a great deal of differences.
Some of the things you speak of are familiar to my sitch, others totally alien. Seems Grace had the best advice to give when she said protect yourself financially and take the kids and go off someplace to get your mind off it and enjoy yourself. Hard to do I know, but it can be pulled off.
So . . . . No great wisdom from this corner, but lots of prayers and support
