19 years and 7 months. We had been together 10 years before we married, 3 of those living together. Early March would be 30 years for us.

A quote from a recovered MLCer: 
"From my experience if my H had let me go a long time ago, and stop pressuring me, begging, and pleading and just let go I possibly would have experienced my awakening sooner than I did."

I 1st met him when we were both 14 . In highschool. We both went on to marry others and both of us divorced after 4 years . He was cheated on, his wife turned up pregnant by another man . My 1st husband was alcoholic. My husband dropped the bomb somewhere around ( or on ) our 27th wedding anniversary, late april 2013. I remember our anniversary, my birthday and Mothers Day being a trip thru hell. OW birthday is a day after mine . She got flowers . BLAH BLAH... stupid to remember these things still.  I discovered the OW by complete flukey intuition and a dream... 1 week before he returned home . It had been going on for 9 months . So, there is some proof that the second I knew ... he put her back in the garbage dumpster where he found her .
