Jjal! So happy that you stopped in with updates. I'm sorry your W is still in the fog. MLC is the worst thing to go through as the spouse who stays sane. Watching the person you love destroy their lives and those of the people who care about them is the most helpless feeling ever.
I'm convinced my H is in MLC. My situation has taken yet another bizarre turn (this is Judy.) What else could explain the roller coaster? Insanity or MLC, and my H is 50. Total personality change, selfish, reckless, and hateful. The total opposite of the person I married.
I'm going to opt to get off the ride for a while, and watch from a distance. I don't know if I can ever move on, so I understand your feeling of indecision. If you're not ready, do nothing. Life is short, but not that short! You're not MLC, so no need to rush into anything.
I'm happy to hear you're not depending on booze nightly anymore. It is hard on these older bodies! Let the feelings come, so you can process them and be ready for what life brings you next...nothing worse than unsorted baggage.
