Tsquared2 - thank you for stopping by, and for the insight.
Yes, there are situations I could handle differently in future, but I am sure that the outcome would still be the same. Looking back in hindsight I can see signs of this crisis building over a number of years, so I shouldn't be surprised that it will take a long time to run its course, if it ever does. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
I guess I may never know.
However, IF there should ever be new relationships in the future I sure have learnt some lessons along the MLC way. So hopefully I will be a better partner if nothing else.
Hopefully you wife will come back to her "perfect H", just may take a while, but you know that.
Your post helped me put things into some perspective - thank you.
