I have been reading some of the sitchs on this forum and realized several people have been truly doing a marathon! I've read that the MLC journey is a marathon, and not a sprint, but years of limbo? I'd be curious to hear from some of you about why you are willing to live like that for so long, and what keeps you going. Especially in light of the fact that your MLC spouse isn't showing any progress.
I'm only in month 3 with H out of the house, but his (our?) issues started years ago. Looking back, probably about 8 or 9 years ago it really kicked in. So, in reality maybe I've been on this journey a lot longer than I think. A few people ask "at some point you need to decide what you're going to do" I guess force a resolution is what they mean. But, I'm getting on with my life, and not interested in dating, so I figure there is no rush. Maybe that's what you marathoners think too?
Anyway, the potential this could go on for months and years is daunting, and I'll need to pray about it.
