Very interesting insight you for have. Thank you for that. I agree with you that it is very hard for both MLC/WAS and LBS. Both have valid thoughts and feelings as you have pointed out. My W said recently that she would not be able to withstand a financial setback that we knew was coming. She was right and now we find ourselves in D. She said, "who would want to go through that (financial trouble) again?"
I said I totally agreed with her. I understood what she was saying. Nobody wants to struggle financially. Sometimes life is that way though.
The kicker is that we are so close to a breakthrough on the job front. It seems a shame to me that we are this close and have fought so hard to get to a place where we will be financially secure, just to quit the race right before the finish line.
This is indicative of just how hard this has been for her and I totally get that. No one would give up and break up their family if they didn't truly believe that there is no other option.
I know MLC and the possible onset menopause can be a hormonal nightmare. Its like they say, some make through and some don't.
Today is our first court date regarding D. I don't think there is anything new for me to do. I will just try to stay on the high road and ride this train wreck over the cliff with her.
I will love her all the way to the end and hopefully we will find our happiness, with our without each other.
LTH, your insight is invaluable to all of us. Thank you so much and please keep posting.
NMM, you are correct. No gains at this point. The genie will stay in the bottle for now.
