I always felt that the confusion and wishy-washiness was the true telltale of MLC. Their hot-cold and yes no attitude that absolutely consumes the LBS at first is the big MLC flag for me.
So is her attitude fraud or just confused? I at times saw glimpses of my old wife in the depths of her MLC. One glimpse a smile or concern peeking out of her eyes, that would fuel me for awhile.
Fraud implies a bigger picture with long term thiniking, and I never believed that an MLC was capable of thinking down the road for more than a few days. At least in my MLC wife.
Oh they are deceptive. They lie to protect themselves from wrath. "We are just friends, I broke it off."
Confused right now, anything is possible. Get a better lay of the land.
Their confusion is you ally.
I say that, because as a WAH once upon a time. I wasn't confused at F-ing all when I was done. I gave no hope, I gae nothing to indicate that I was going to change my mind because I wasn't. I did not have an MLC.
That is why I say their confusion is your ally. They don't know what they want...or if you are an optimist...A part of them wants you. But you cannot push them into it. Comprende?
