My husband has been going through a mid life crisis...I think. For about a month he just wnated to be alone and do his own thing. He would come home every few days to see the kids. At the beginning of Oct his Mother passed away and we drove for 12 hours to her funeral. While there he said he realized how important family really is and that we are back together forever! Great, huh?!?!? Well, now it has been another month and he is acting very strange. Not talking, staying out late, just weird! He has come home evey night and hasn't said he wants to leave, but his actions are very strange. Is there always this kind of rollercoaster while in recovery. When will everything just be back to normal? And how should I act? Should I questions him or just love him and see if he comes out of this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

If your H has been having a MLC it will last for well over 1 year or more. Apparently, it will usually last from 2 years to 5 years, with the average being 3 years [img]images/icons/frown.gif" border="0[/img] <p>It sounds to me like he is still in the tunnel. Very often they will come out for a short while and then run back in.<p>If you can, love him from a distance and don't smother him. Treat him with respect and be a friend. How you deal with him now, will make a difference if and when he comes out of it.<p>Good luck to you!!

If your H is in MLC depression usually comes with it. He's lost and confused and doesn't know what is wrong. He's different. He doesn't stay in this misery because he likes it there, but he can't find his way out. Men will usually rationalize there feelings by looking outside themselves and blame others. Instead of working to change themselves they will change the situation. With hopes that this will make them feel better. It doesn't. <p>The very sad part in all of this, is that he will more than likely blame you. He is sick and temporarily insane.<p>I feel for both of you.
