Thank you so much for your insight and wisdom. Thank you for taking the time to answer my post. Even though I don't know you, I can sense your deep kindness and sincerity in your words and I am comforted by them.
When this all began, I was angry at his behavior and what it was doing to me. I was angry that he didn't show concern for my feelings and my welfare and that he would jeopardize the children's security by damaging the marriage. After a year of repeated talks that went nowhere, I understand now that he is suffering such intense inner pain that he is in no shape to take care of me emotionally. I'm on my own.
I hope that you will write more about your insights regarding men going through MLC based on the interactions you've had with them. Knowledge is power. Knowing what to expect as time goes on gives me a sense of control over a situation that I really have no control over.
