It is always harder to have the MLC'er home (mine has never left).
I think we need to be careful of definitive words like "always" ... particularly when you dont' have anything to compare it with.
Those statements fail to consider the very legitimate pain and loss our friends here live through when their MLCer doesn't live at home. I suspect some of them would be very envious of those whose partners have never left.
Let's not call anyone's experience; pain or suffering any more signficant than anyone elses, hey?
