Innis, I can relate to a lot of things you posted. My H also started distancing himself, being annoyed with me, behaving strange about 18 months prior to BD. He told me that he was not happy in our M for the past 2-3 years (prior to BD), he wanted to start a new phase of this life “after me”, he wanted to be friends with me, blah, blah, blah. He also told me that is was best for both of us. I did notice the depression, but didn’t correlate it with MLC. He removed himself from my life completely and by the circumstances he was kind of living a new life. He works in another state, so he just left all his stuff in the house. Then he picked up some, but not all. And now I don’t see any urgency on his part to take the reminder of his belongings and separate finances/accounts any further. It’s been 18 month, so I’m further along on this journey.

And yes, he is able to function in other parts of his life, working and managing the bills and stuff.

You have very good advice here. Keep posting. I read your thread all the time, it helps me too.
