here Goes Part 2

[MichelleLT]

Most likely, she is angry because you are doing things she wishes you had done a very long time ago. Saying you are having a mid-life crisis is externalizing the changes you are making - basically saying it's because of some identity crisis and that she doesn't believe they'll stick once your MLC is over perhaps?

Perhaps it would make her feel too bad to realize that you are making these changes because you deserve to feel this good and because you love her.

She is not ready to accept that you would work to make things better. That goes against her stereotypes of you! I think her anger MIGHT be a good thing...a sign that she is having doubts, that she is wondering about your potential as a H (i.e. revising it upwards lol).

It IS how she feels right now. She may not quite realize why, she just knows how she feels. But that doesn't mean anything a year from now. Just like the good times a few years ago aren't holding the M together now, her anger now won't necessarily push you apart forever.

Oh, and as long as you have a mild MLC w/ no A and no reckless spending, a tan and a tattoo are perfectly acceptable outlets!
