After reading the MLC for dummies, which I'm sure was just a joke but oh so true, it was really right on with how my wife began acting about 1-1/2 years ago. What I really want to know is does anyone really get past this? How long does it take? What are some signs of recovery. Do people, women in particular ever admit they are right smack in the middle of one? Somehow, my wife has blocked all the good times and fun vacations from her memories, all she can seem to recall is the arguements wich she claims to have been all the time. Am I stupid to hold on to the hope that one day she might change back in to the happy, loving person I married. I would really appreciate any words of incouragement anyone has to offer. It's so hard watching someone you love display such childish and selfish behavior. In her mind, she has created a past that is nothing like the true history we had together, at least not from my perspective. Never the less, the one she thinks we have lived has made her so bitter towards me. After a while you start thinking, maybe I really am to blame for how she is feeling, then youe self esteem plumits. Once that has happened, it becomes harder and harder to be attractive. Surely someone has been through this and has a happy ending to tell?
