Hi Lost, My H is 30 and I believe he is going through MLC. I like to call it a "life transition" since we are not midlifers yet. Click on my name and read my situation. My H has never once told me ILYB, he maintains that I am his best friend and he loves me and he always wants to talk to me and will be there for me but he "wants to be alone" and thats what he tells his family also. I live in our home with our dog, no kids, and he comes and goes. He has been staying at a friends house off and on from what I understand. No affairs as far as I know, I can't bring myself to check the records. This all started in May this year (although I can now see its been going on for a while) and I check the phone records constantly and never found one fishy thing, so to save my sanity I stopped. Read, and re-read and the re-read again. Stay on this MLC board. You will get stronger. I promise. 6 months ago, I was crying begging pleading for him to not leave me, I loved him, you are my everything, I'm nothing without you. EW! I want to slap that me!! I need NO ONE!! I WANT my marriage to work, but if it doesn't I know that there is plenty of happiness that is coming my way. Not sure if your religious, but prayer has helped. You are on my watched list, since our H's are the same age range, and it's been hard to read all the MLC stuff and read about ppl being together for 15+ years, tons of kids and are 40+ years old. Although the scenarios sounds similar, its hard to get past those big differences when reading ppl's sitches. I have ordered some of the recommended MLC books, I will let you know if any help. You have a friend in me. I'm Monica BTW. Keep smiling, even though its tough.
