I found that once my H exited his depression and MLC, he couldn't remember much of the history he'd been rewriting. Also, it was as though he remembered me as the person he'd first met and fallen in love with. I think most of the rewriting has to do with deep feelings of depression, and the MLCer trying to make sense of why his world is falling apart and he feels abandonned and miserable. However, I realize that I was lucky that he did exit the MLC tunnel.

One of my favorites from my EXH was that I had bought a Longeberger basket in 1995 and that it was expensive. I said "did you tell me not to buy something when i went to the party" He said "no". Glad to know he justified his affair because I bought a basket and I told him he couldn't play golf on the weekends when we had 2 children under the age of 4 and he worked 60 hours a week and no family nearby (military). I even remember telling him when they get older golf is back on but we need family time and date time.

They sometimes will admit it but you can't force them to see it your way.
