Out of the Dark and into the Light.....

[Jimbo]

Jim,

You had a great time on Weds, you did amazing, good interaction...and here's the trap that snagged you.

That was yesterday. It is in the past. In a normal relationship that sets the tone for today.

In an MLC relationship do you know what sets the tone? Cause f-me if I ever did. The moon? Talking birds? radio stations in her filings? Actually glad I have no idea.

You have good MLC day, and that is yesterday.
Tomorrow? Who knows?

On the plus side...

You have a bad MLC day with her, her fault and not yours...that is yesterday too.

Today isn't the day; and what can you burn today to get to tomorrow?

You're right, Jack. They do forget. Both good and bad. Consciously, at least.

But I feel like it's much akin to a coma patient. You don't see any outward signs that they've heard you, and a lot of people say they're checked out- how can they POSSIBLY hear you?

And then, there are the others who say that not only do they hear, but on a deep, deep level- they not only hear, they UNDERSTAND.

So I have to believe that, on some deep, deep level, she knows the difference between an actual disagreement and when she's pulling $#!+ with picking a fight to create a disagreement, but just can't help herself. It's how she maintains her comfort level and ignores what is happening in the "real world".

I still hold to my child development theory of MLC.
