I was joking about those things I mentioned. I don't think there is anything you could have done to change what happened.
From what you've described your wife sounds totally MLC to me. I think if it wasn't this OM it would have been another. I think it's timing and that your W had a desire to just "have a different life." It's funny because I ran into an old friend at the gym. I know her through our kids. Her daughter is 14 and she started confiding to me how unhappy her marriage is. Then she mentioned how she feels like she doesn't know who she is, or what she wants. I noticed her wedding ring was off and she make a joke about the cute men at the gym. MLC for sure!!! This seems to be common when the kids are in the teen years.
I agree but her IC doesn't believ in MLC, however, the IC I go to does... Yes, it does get tough when the kids hit the teen years and I think she snapped as all she ever wanted to be since I met her was a mom and now she is a part-time one at best.
So, if it's really MLC then I have a long wait ahead of me huh
