Wife in Major MLC...Looking to Vent

[bombardier50]

Sleep,

First, about the MC. As someone warned me, she might just go into MC and completely unload. Boy...did she ever. It was like watching a garbage truck dump its load in the middle of the freeway. We weren't ten minutes into the session when she described her "frienship" (EA) in vivid detail. I sat there completely amazed at the depth of her revelations.

After several minutes of "spew", the MC gently but firmly informed her that she was, in fact, having an EA and that it was damaging our marriage. And she also gently, but firmly informed her that it is NOT normal to not have sex, or any sort of physical affection, for several months, regardless of how long you've been married.

In other words, we weren't even 20 minutes into the session and the MC had the situation pegged.

At one point, I confessed that I had started this ball rolling by not being as emotionally available as I should have been, and that I had taken our relationship for granted, that I had become lazy and had not made an effort to maintain the emotional connection between us. I believe that to be true.

My wife was quiet and subdued when we left. Later, she told me that right after our session, she called the OM to tell him how it went. Talk about being in a fog...

Sleeper, I did tell her last night that I didn't want to talk about R unless we were in front of the MC. We made "nice" that evening, as described. Then, this morning, before I had even poured my coffee, she launched a merciless attack on me. She is one angry Klingon.

Yes, like your wife, she is a champion at holding grudges.

And now, here I am, talking to you fine people, and she was supposed to be home from work three hours ago.

And so it goes...
