Dawn, I just wanted to let you know how useful and interesting your thread has been for me. I just read this whole thread and think you are amazing. Your sitch is sooo confusing, your H giving a running commentary must make your head spin. Im guessing that constant intense interaction makes it really hard to detach. There were quite a few things that were familiar to me ...home feeling like a trap, working hard to provide $$, telling me I am a good person and this is not about me but him. My H left only a few months after BD - those few months of limbo were just sheer hell and while I was devastated when he dud leave, I was eventually able to get back up and live life, detach, GAL, work on myself in that calmer space. I don't know how I would have managed all that if he had been living here all that time, like you have coped with. It does sound like you H is moving through the MLC stages which, altho hard work and confusing for every one, is probably a good thing. Progress. Better than getting stuck. Who knows what the future holds for any of us. I just try to live life as is he is not coming back, altho ever hopeful it hurts to have expectations
