This is so interesting. H was never good with sickness or hospitals but in the 2 years before BD I had a cancer scare, my mother died in our home under hospice care, he saw a man die at one of his marathons and H had a car crash that wasn't his fault but could have resulted in his death If he had not reacted quickly.

People think I am nuts to say my H was in the middle of a "perfect storm" that made him vulnerable to an epic MLC but I firmly believe that all of those triggers coupled with a woman who methodically went after him was all he needed to fall into the abyss.

Of course ultimately H's choices are his alone but all the death was very tough on his psyche.
