Hey Nero!  Glad you're hanging in down there in sweaty old FL. You stay there as long as you want, two weeks, three weeks - it is YOUR home too. 

"i wonder how i'll feel when i say i'd rather plan to stay down here anotehr week or two and he turns white and tehn tells me he just HAS TO go visit ow"

I wish you would stop saying you expect H to announce he's taking a field trip to visit OW. You've been predicting this since his aunt was discharged from the hospital, and it hasn't happened yet! There is nothing to be gained from trying to mindread someone in MLC; it's like trying to read your tea leaf fortune in a glass of crystal light - there ain't nothing there!

Living off and on with H like you do must be hard. I've always wondered which is worse - with or away - and you are the perfect one to 'splain it to us. So slip on T^2's goggles and white lab coat and give us your opinion. I would be truly grateful. 

Remember telling us how surprised you were when your friend told you that 
H had a MLC and she was ready to jump ship but got delayed by a hurricane and reconciled in the meantime? I  At work yesterday someone told me a similar story. Well not including a hurricane of course, but about her friend who "went crazy" and started cheating on her husband and got all new friends and spent thousands of dollars on clothes and vacations alone. She said her friend's face changed and she did.bot look like herself. The friend had a horrible childhood with sexual abuse. She doesn't know what happened in the meanwhile, but she and the husband are together again after almost six years. 

I know each MLC is different and guess I do have expectations that my H will start to get out of this tunnel in the next year. Two more....yikes. I just wish replay would be over already. 

Dawn - don't tell every one your secret facebook identity! It's a secret, just give a clue!

Nero we can meet at a park or restaraunt, anywhere you want. Don't stress over dust - I wouldn't want my MIL's name written in my dust but maybe a big smiley face would be cheery. Deep dust might be handy for jotting down notes!
