LA, I read some of his book last year when we started down this path and it helped me. It also scared me because I saw the 4 horsemen in my relationship. Unfortunately, I still do. You have an advantage, at least verbally, in that your H has brought up MC. I still have the book in my secret bag of reading materials.
I've thought a lot about what you've been going through and haven't been able to think of how I would have responded, but not as well as you have. I would have been tempted to find where they were and make a scene.
Even though the details are different, we seem like we are at very similar points with how we are being treated and just how much more of it we can take. I too need some emotional support. I think I've just been too tired to find it elsewhere.
I hope you are able to get some clarity while he's gone.
Thinking of you ((((((LA)))))
