Hey Denton, just wanted to put a point on those time that you might feel real down. I hope that you are just verbalizing that you have "given up on life" but wouldn't act on it. If you have any serious thoughts about that, please talk to a professional about those thoughts.
I got a kick out of you asserting your masculinity after saying you were window shopping... lol... Hey, no fear... I window shop a lot, too... I just call it... "price comparing".
IF your W is MLC, confusion can be quite a big factor. Trying to figure out simple things can be difficult for them. My W recently asked me to figure out summer schedule with the kids (there's some conflicts) because I'm better at scheduling than she is... huh? That from someone who has scheduled our entire 12 years together and puts together conferences for hundreds of participants... Yeah, their brains can be a little... London Fog like...
Only you know if you can "hang on" long enough. Honestly, I'd recommend not focusing on hanging on. Summer's here... spend some time with your mates catching some football games... or cricket... if you're into that kind of thing... lol...
IF your W is MLC (and she could likely be), then on some of the "best" time lines, your W might only be about half way through. GAL will be very important for you to make it through this. Some of the more "high functioning" MLCers might go through quicker... the low functioning ones... those who are really stuck on denial... they seem to take a tad longer...
