It actually does make alot of sense. It's what an MLC is all about. Where all of your accomplishments of the past (relationships, career, home, etc.) don't seem to give you fulfillment any more. For those who successfully come out of MLC, they re-evaluate and build on what they have rather than tearing everything down and starting from scratch.
Unfortunately that's where my W's head is at now. A very telling sign is that she told me "the things I thought I wanted aren't important any more." That's the MLC talking. You feel so empty in that void and so "unhappy" that you do anything that makes you feel happy such as entering into an affair. You aren't dealing with the root of your problem, just putting a band aid on it.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
