I'm not sure about MLC. My H is 30, he was only 27 when he dropped the bomb so I can't imagine that it would be as that's too young really for MLC.
Your W is 34, isn't she? Maybe you can get an early MLC.
I do think my H has always loved me, but had some type of depression or breakdown because we had 3 very small kids at the time, 2 businesses, families that never got on, I had physical health problems. It was one thing after another.
In the last 4 or 5 months before the bomb, he got really quiet and didn't want sex as much as before. Then he just flipped one night because our dd (who was 2 then) was crying and he just said this is it, I can't take it anymore.
He displayed symptoms of depression (aggression, being withdrawn, stopping his usual activities etc). He didn't go to work so the shop closed. He took the kids out of school and disappeared for a month. Then he'd be like 'I'm sorry, I don't know what's happening to me.'
I have seen him one day acting really confident and resolute without me and another day on the floor with his head in his hands saying I am not the only one who is suicidal.
I always had a sexual R with him up until it got nasty at court and he found OW. So even though this has been going on for 3 years, we only had 1 year out of that time where we were truly separated.
He changed his mind just a couple of weeks prior the D, I think as a result of me being 'dark' and him working through a lot of his issues. He's much more religious than he ever was before and he's changed in a lot of ways (mostly good ways) and he still loves me after all of that so I think he's come through his depression and come out the other side.
He would say it wasn't depression, but knowing him like I do, and seeing his behaviour from the outside, I would say he had depression too.
Thanks for your kind comments re the eggs, I can't wait for my appointment!
