Guys you all can go back and read my story. I was a mess to say the least. I thought my life was settled, spent half my life with this man and had a son. No one, and I mean NO ONE could tell me this man would leave his family! I would NOT have believed them. Listen.....they truly go thru something, MLC, walkaway spouse, whatever you want to call it, its a disease, a sickness! If this were not so, why would everyones story sound SO familiar?? Most of the time there is something that sets them on a path of destruction and they are gone, for how long, who knows. BUT the key is taking care of yourself. GO READ my story! I was in your shoes but prb worse, because I was mentally uncapable of handing it. I never even had to change a light bulb in my house, I was totally dependent on my husband! I knew nothing but honey I have come a LONG WAY! After two yrs and counting I am still learning to get my life back. Please dont expect to heal overnight. Alot of people on here will try to be harsh,,,,,,like i just did earlier, to wake you up! It's for your own good, but honestly they can tell you over and over and over again what you need to do, but until you finally realize and GIVE up trying to fix your spouse and trying to offer ANYHTING and do ANYTHING to fix your marriage, it goes thru one ear and out the other. I am a prime example of it. YOU and your family WILL survive, it is gonna take time and lots of time. If you can get your mind onto other things, it helps. Stay busy as much as possible, when you are not your mind will wonder. People tried to tell me this, they hollared and screamed, so to speak, but i kept asking the same questions over and over and over, trying to figure out what to do to help my situation. Until I finally gave up and gave it to the Lord! The ONLY one that can handle it! God is right there with you, lean on him. Ask God for peace, he will give you peace if you ask. Try to move on, door open if you want, but move. If he truly wants it to work, he will get the picture. He is sick and confused. Pray for him day and night, he needs it. This breaks my heart for you because I remember what it was like, except my husband was a walkaway mlcer. Thats what I titled him. In five months he remarried and has a newborn. AND NO he wasnt seeing the one he married when WE were married. He was messing with whatever YOUNG girl would have him. THEN he met this girl and she RULED his world, NOT ROCKED,,,,,RULED! She drags him around everywhere. He is not the same man, they never are. As Snodderly says, they are abducted by aliens. Please take care of yourself, this is NOT your fault or your prb. and you cant fix it. Vent here ALOT! and cry as much as you need to. I will pray for ALL of you. Just remember it takes TIME! Dont expect to heal overnight.
