It is always good to "hear" from you! I posted on your thread, too. I hope that I didn't discourage you. I am actually quite positive about your situation. Mine own, not so much. It is a year from BD in a couple of days, eight months since I have seen him, it has been three and a half months since we've spoken, a little over two since our small, disappointing text exchange and almost three weeks since my small text to which he never replied.
Putting all those facts together and I don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to come to a conclusion.
But that is MY situation and not yours. Bea once said that MLCers are variations on the same theme. Agreed. Each is unique and each will act and react in different ways. Like your H, except for neglect, he was not the "spewing type". He said some awful things to me at the beginning but during our time of contact, he was not mean - indifferent - but not mean.
And yet, there are times when I just miss him - simple as that.
Sailing, thank you for stopping by! MLC does last a long time. In fact, the general thought is that BD comes towards the middle to end of MLC. I am not familiar with your sitch, but from your signature, it seems that your W has not left and isn't being mean. That is positive. As Linda once pointed out, if the MLCer is present in your life and you can share good moments, it makes a big difference as to whether there is hope of a new, improved relationship between the two of you.
In my case, all I can do is move forward however slowly and take care of family who needs me. I just wish all hell wouldn't break through at once!
