I consider the MLC hellfire what I needed to galvanize myself into the person I desired to be.
BTW I am one of those people you wanted to know about at the top of your post.
Why did it happen? MLC, thats one answer. We both forogt that the other person was the person we loved, we forgot to show it every day and to strive in our marriage rather than be complacent about it. She had an MLC I became an LBS. Affairs affect everyone is pretty much the same way, jealousy, anger, self pity, low feelings of self esteem, righteousness.
But her MLC made me realize I was far from the person she fell in love with, I was far from the person I wanted to be.
