I have posted on NPD forum (narcissistic personality disorder) as well, pretty much the same post. Because of my diificulties writing, I always try to "utilize" my messages:)
It is interesting how the perspective changes and opinions differ accordingly. The guys over there are very supportive and suggestive when it comes to the NPD. But MLC is a myth for them, invented to cover up for misbehaving H/Ws. They wonder if I am really going to wait for my H to come out of the fog and take him back after all the cheating/lying he has done.
I guess they think I'm a doormat:)
Is that how the world is viewing LBS?
That's what I've got :
"I am not so sympathetic to your husband as you appear to be. OK , so he had to put up with the troubles caused by your NM etc but it is no excuse to cheat on you and expect you to live like this. He of all people should know the pain you have had that has marred your happiness (not just his) and he could have tried to help you sort it out years ago. Do not make it so easy for him to behave like this towards you and his family. Like most folk - he wants his cake and to eat it too."
I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders ____________________________________________________ M 46 H 45 D 17 M/T 23 Bomb #1 (ILYBNILWY) 12.06 Bomb #2 (OW) 12.07 Bomb #3 (chose OW over M) 9.08
