I'm returning the visit. Thanks for dropping in. Your comments really picked me up and helped me.
I haven't read everything you have written here yet, but glanced through it. Two comments that I will expound on further if you are interested. First, I noticed your W had hormone problems. Me too. Been on Synthroid for years, and now on progesterone. The low thyroid (T4) levels cause some libido problems, but apparently the progesterone level was also a factor. Plus the thyroid problem was a factor in depression. All of which added up to a lousy sex life and eventually to H bolting for greener pastures. No, he isn't actually grazing in those pastures yet, still in the fantasy stage, but certainly out the door.
I assure anyone who even suspects a hormone problem to aggressively pursue it. I asked my doctors for years for help, but until I pushed it hard, they kind of blew me off. It has made a world of difference. And you are never too young for this to be a problem. This has apparently been a problem for me forever, since my teens.
Second comment is about the motorcycle. My H got a Harley last year (perhaps MLC symptom?) and that is one of the things that kept us together when things were getting rough, and still gives us a common interest; even though we are separated, we still ride together and hang out at "biker bars". Something that may surprise a lot of people is that bikers tend to stay in relationships through thick and thin, much more so than the general population, and they tend to be very family-oriented. And just generally a bunch of nice people, despite the popular image.
