The running away link takes me to something saying I can't edit it.
My husband has never run away. But we have always had the dynamic from the beginning of our marriage that he is the one who says he wants to leave and I am always the one saying no and then nothing more comes of it. He stays. It's more a habit than anything. I would not read too much into it. He's not doing it any more now than he ever did really.
As for our age, let's just say we are firmly in midlife and have been married a typical number of years as most mlc/lbs before this started. I don't want to post any more personally identifiable info than that.
