Upside - although our MLC spouses are very different, I feel that yours, like mine, wants to come back at a very deep level, but still hasn't got a clue what to do.
They haven't sorted themselves out, but they long for their old life. It isn't a question of us keeping the path clear, in this case, i believe, but of recognising that they have to figure this one out.
I don;t even know why I think my xh wants to return to his family - his words say one thing and his actions suggest that he is very conflicted.
Your spouse is saying the words but can't follow through with the actions.
I am sitting quietly and getting one with my life. Much of this amuses me, sometimes it upsets me, and other times i wish he was on mars, but mostly life is pretty good! MLC notwithstanding.
