This is when the other spouse makes the complaining spouse to depart by wicked behavior or by ending the husband/wife relationship and making it not viable for the complaining spouse to carry on with the marriage and protect his/her health, and self-esteem and the spouses have not had sexual interaction with each other since that time.

• Actual desertion

This when your spouse packs out of the house and relocate to another house, and remain there, he or she is at fault of actual desertion. The spouse willingly left and has no thought of coming back except maybe to collect the stuff that he or she forgot.

If your spouse spent some months outside after leaving you, and all of a sudden decides that you are the one after all. In good trust, your spouse appears in your house and pleads for mercy. In Maryland, if you agree, there is no problem. But if you disagree and even reject to see or listen to your spouse, then, weird but true, your spouse might charge you for desertion.
