Well, my wife just left, she actually ended up spending the whole afternoon here, from 11am to 8pm.

We did all the little jobs we wanted to do, then had lunch and dinner, and in between, watched a couple of movies on the couch.

Based on the conversation, it really sounds like she's done, at least for now. She says it may change in the future, but right now she just doesn't see herself coming home anytime soon. The frustrating part: She doesn't understand why.

Sounds like she has the MLC bug, though she isn't the least bit nasty, like so many folks are while in MLC. She is her same old sweet self, affectionate and loving, she just doesn't want to come home.

She told me she is bored much of the time, and said she is jealous of me because I am keeping so busy. She said she misses being part of a couple, being touched, and just knowing there is someone there to talk to.

I told her she could have all of that back, with one sentence. She had tears in her eyes.

I just don't get it, but MLC is like that, isn't it?

It was really nice to spend time with her, but this definitely makes detachment easier.

Such a shame...we have such potential. \:\(
