MLC is a real thing-It is a crises caused by some unresolved childhood issues-It has nothing to do with the spouse yes, we all did things in our M..and we can evaluate our mistakes , so to learn from them.
At first it is hard to understand why our H seem so different Many lie, many mclcers spend when once they were so careful with money Many become different parents after they seem so devoted, many cheat when once they were so loyal Some of the books are helpful by Jim Conway We may never understand the whys of it I belive your H is confused as many a MLC yes he still loves you, he is unhappy in himself The MLC is usually afraid of D I think because they are unsure and D is so final Many a MLCer would like to keep the LBS hanging, waiting just in case his plans fold It is excellent that he is in IC..That is the only place he can figure it out
Some things that helped me early in this: AS hard as it is-- For H be friendly and cordial toward him thank him for simple things validate him No nagging, no complaining, no fighting about what he feels or says, no snooping let him go--
For YOu: Watch your finances. seperate accounts and credit cards get your name off his credit cards do it discreetly and lovingly not to point blame or start a fight..just take care of yourself because many a MLCEr will go in debt--this is true and I experienced it first hand but I did not lose anything financially XH lost everything including a thriving business Continue IC Get sleep, find supportive women many women of all ages can relate to this and can be supportive Exercise eat healthier rest..learn to meditate or relax pray and journel spend a little fun time with a girl friend Kids: Spend some quality time as you do with them love them..listen to them tell them it is not their fault everyone loves them and you are here for them everyday will get better the pain will stop you will be internally guided with the help of the therapist trust the process we have all done it Peace
