I definitely believe you, Cadet. I need to keep reminding myself this fact. The weird thing about my situation is that my H just up and left and didnt tell me anything. All he told me is that he "needed to be on his own for a while". He didnt give me the ILYB speech and he didnt say anything about a divorce or legal separation. He just up and vanished after giving me a list of things that bothered him. The fact that he is in complete hiding from friends and family leads me to believe its definitely a MLC.
