I have a quote that I refer back to often.

"Love me when I least deserve it, for that is when I need it the most"

That is how I approach my husband. I try to detach. I love him, but I don't do it openly. When he wants to chat, I'm there and will chat amiably. But I don't talk about myself, my issues, my fears, my hopes etc. He rarely asks. I don't update him on day to day things and never call/text/email unless its about D. I want him to know through my actions that I am here for him when/if he is ready, but I will continue to move on alone with dignity and pride for myself and my actions.

The pain the MLCer is going through is very real and very difficult for them. I try to keep that in mind when dealing with the insanity that goes with the voyage. Despite what it may look like, they are not having fun, they are not happy, they are not carefree. They are suffering and unfortunately must do it alone.
