MLC is not just about the car or the woman or spending...the main ingredient is depression. They are mourning the loss of their youth and are trying to figure out what they missed out on as kids or very young adults. It's about them being emotionally stunted at an early age. It could have been by a parent or an authority figure. They may have not been admired, validated or encouraged in whatever they were doing. They could have been abused or treated as if their feelings did not matter. All of this plays into the MLC.
A couple of things:
Have you been checked for STDs? If he's out there and returned home, you want to make sure that you do not have any those gifts that keep on giving.
Keep an eye on your accounts and home mortgage. They like to spend funds...so check your credit history every so often.
A question for you...what may have transpired 18-24 months ago? Something had to trigger his trip into MLC.
Keep the focus on you and your family. Leave him to figure things out, i.e., space and time. I think you've already figured out quite a bit of what to do.

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.
