MLC is a just a great excuse for a lot of LBS to stay stuck in limbo and not make decisions. They think they can just ride this out and excuse all type of horrendous behavior. It's a soothing thought to think your partner is now an alien and they'll come back to you at some point if you just stick it out. That just sounds like self-punishment. Don't make excuses for their behavior, and get some self-respect to know that you won't be treated like this.
