Psalm,

I too had a live in MLCer. You are walking a very hard road right now.

You will encounter (and already have) things that those whose MLCer's leave, don't have to deal with.

They are frequently sick. They don't want you to do anything for them that seems like a "spousal" sort of thing (laundry, cooking, etc...) The men, unlike the women, still seem interested in sexual relations with the spouse.

It is harder. It is more confusing. For both them and us. In the archives there are two posters threads that are very good who both had live in's. One it TrustingFaithfully (that was her posting name right anyone?) and the other is Fallgirl.

You can learn much by reading their experiences as well as others who posted to them.
