I'm moving from Newcomers to MLC, as I think this fits my H. You all seem to have a lot of experience to share, and I hope you will.

My husband moved out the week before Thanksgiving, while I was at work. We've been married 26 years. We've cycled through closeness and distance from my H through the years, somewhat affected by H's EA many years ago. Since the downward spiral of the economy, he had to change jobs, we've moved, D moved home from college and S left for college. I toyed several times over the last 10 years with being a WAW. In June he told me he was considering D but I convinced him to stay. He refused MC. In November he moved into a rental that he's kept vacant since October 1. He appears to have started a new EA with a coworker in mid October.

Initially I kept in contact with him, but in since the holidays we've only made contact once a week, recently initiated by him. I don't know which way to jump.

I think I want to R this M, but I'm confused and wondering if there is any hope. I've done a lot of reading here, so I know that if this is MLC I'm probably in for a long haul.

I'm looking for advice. My initial thread was "Where to start?" in Newcomers.

Thanks in advance
