The more we go, the more I know in my heart that their is something wrong with him (ie MLC, depression, etc.). In my heart I can't believe that this is the typical way a marriage breaks down and ends. Maybe I am wrong, but it is what I believe at the moment.
You're not wrong. Cadet tells us over and over that the marriage was never the problem. Snodderly tells us that we didn't break them, and can't fix 'em.
My W even once told me she knows she's had a great life, and should be thankful and happy. Yet she's still searching for something... something to fill that emptiness deep in her soul.
MLC is an affliction of the affluent... people who seem to have the most. People struggling to survive don't get hit with this stuff. No time or place for it. I read somewhere that it is even more likely to hit those who had the best marriages, and the more I read, the more I believe this to be true.
Bust On my friends!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
