We all deal w/the quarter life crisis, i.e., 20,30, etc. If we don't navigate those quarter life ones, we eventually will have the one called MLC. Each quarter life crisis helps us grow and learn, as well as mature. People who don't navigate them have poor coping skills as well.
Some of us have been dealing w/the fall out of our spouses' MLC for a number of years. No one can predict just how long that they will last, some are short, others are longer and then there are those who remain stuck in the childhood/teen years. There are a few out there that you'll be able to spot if you watch closely. Look at the 50, 60, 70 and some 80 years olds still dressing like they are 16/20 somethings and people just nod, point and chuckle about how they look and are behaving. It's very sad to know that they are stuck and look so foolish to everyone else in the room.
For now, you need to keep the focus on you, protect your assets and live your life as if she won't return. There is no way to predict the outcome of your situation at this time...but if you sit quietly and be patient, the answers will reveal themselves to you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
