Tipper, Like you I put all of my efforts into DBing and he did come back for four years but he was miserable very soon because he never resolved why he left. I have been on the MLC ride for much to long and I look at him now with pity. His family has even took my side when he ran while I was burying my mother. My h has ran from every relationship. He is 52 and needs to grow up. I think he is bi-polar as well. Family wants me home and I will look for a job while I am there. Thanks for sharing your story. I am not happy to be here but it helps to talk Kee
