JohnK: Thanks for the advice. Did your wife really want out. My H does...but I think this is another of his MLC (he had one five years ago at almost 50).I am trying to be upbeat but this is not easy since I am truly alone (last kid left for college). I cherish your advice. Patience is not my virtue either but I am trying. When I talked with him last night (I called when i returned from my weekend away) I was upbeat, didn't talk about US and tried to smile through the phone. We will see if it works...if he calls today. I know he stopped by the house to do his wash but I am at work.
Tell us more about you...are you/were you separated...how long...how come...more insight and advice daily would be appreciated.
