I think a lot of men (even non MLCers) compatmentalize. I know I do. It drives W crazy. But we really don't connect things across areas of our lives. I cannot explain it, and I don't know why, but it is a very real thing. It is almost like there is a brain change-out when I go to work, or back home. Then there's hobby time, or kid time, etc. It is a real thing. And it isn't just MLC. Though it might be even more exaggerated in MLC.
