Good afternoon to all of you in same boat. I must ask, can it ever get better? My stbx shows all the signs of MLC at age 46. She has been going through this about two years now. After finding this forum, I'm amazed how many of the people are dealing with a similar situation. My heart goes out to you all.
I have realized just how patient I can be. And, I must pat my self on the back for this. There are so many days I just want to scream. I must keep reminding myself that I am dealing with a person that just doesn't seem to be "all there" anymore.
Over the past 1.5 years I have done multiple 180's to no avail. My wife insists she "wants and needs this divorce", however she walks around almost constantly sad and angry. Nothing seems to make her happy. I tink finalization of the divorce will just start a new chapter in her general unhappiness.
It is just mind boggling. My wife is a very devoted and loving mother. However, she has agreed to grant me full custody of our two teenage sons. This is good for me. It is just amazing to me though, how someone like her can just walk out on everything.
We have been married 20 years, had some rough times but always seemed to work through them. Now she just wants out. Of everything. I was given the ILYBINILWY speech, then three months later was told about her extreme attraction to another man that we both know. She addmitted EA with him. I don't know if has become PA yet. He is also married with children. I think she could be headed from the frying pan to the fire, so to speak.
I feel that the direction of my life and major decisions in it are being determined by someone that is crazy, to put it lightly.
I still love my wife and want to save my marriage, but it's probably too late for this. Any advice from you fellow MLC victims will be greatly appreciated.
