Sorry to butt in but wanted to comment to back56. Our sitchs are very similar. Our 29th anniversary just past. We fell in love 33 years ago. I feel she is in a MLC also. She is trying to do her life over. She just turned 50 but is trying to be 30 again. Very hard to watch. And one of her changes was to leave our marriage and be on her own. Not that I was blameless throuogh the years. But you really touched on something. The loss of your dreams. I too am saddened by the same things. Our last child is halfway through college. The best years were yet to come. We would finally have time just to be with each other. To reconnect. We were financially able to do what ever we wanted to do. My W changed. I felt no longer important to her. I reacted badly to the situation, and probably made it worse. Both my DIL and my soon to be DIL parents are divorced. I had so hoped for W and I to be an example of how good a marriage could be. To be a good example. This saddens me greatly. The loss of the future is almost has bad has what I am going through now. I definately know how you are feeling.
