Friend: I'm so sorry to hear that things are not going so well and it is SO difficult. I send a hug too (((Friend))).
I know that everyone on MLC hates to hear this but they should read your post. If they think their spouse will come back and it will be a bed of roses - even after 5 years - it is highly unlikely.
If you can work through this, Friend, you truly deserve a medal. If he ever becomes the man of your dreams again - then you've proved something to the rest of us. I just so wouldn't want my ex back for all the tea in China.
Hang in there for another day. How do your girls feel about it all? My kids HATED it when their dad moved home.
