Hi I'm reading this thread and getting a lot out of it.
I too was a lurker until a couple of weeks ago. I have my story posted on the New comers page. I think though posters here understand how long a MLC lasts and that it is different from the typical WAS.
My H has been in a MLC for at least 3 yrs.

Accept what is...let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
