Watching the kids while W goes to OM

Ok, I'll reply to her text this morning with my words.

I still think part of this is a MLC. She had been talking for months (which is way before she started talking to him) about how she wasn't happy with her lot in life. How she didn't feel she was doing the right thing. I tried to be helpful and told her that maybe she should go get a job or try something else, etc.

Maybe it was just a cry for attention that I missed, but it seemed way bigger than that. She went for a week without eating, and then a week without sleeping. She was a mess. One of her greatest accomplishments of getting a novel published was happening and she didn't even care. And this was definately before the affair.

I completely agree with these techniques to deal with the affair. But I wonder if it's counterproductive in dealing with a MLC.
