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.
Those things still have importance to her. A MLC believe it or not is a good thing. She is evaluating her life, you have the chance to do the same thing right now.
All of the things she has accomplished in her life are important to her, she is however at a point in her life where she has accomplished what she first set out as goals in her life and now what's left?
She has done what she thought would take a life time to accomplish and thinks that she has nothing left to accomplish: is this all there is to life? Just because you are satisfied with the status quo doesn't mean she is or ever would be? Maybe she thinks that you require that from her and it's a very unfulfilling life she has to look forward to.
MLC or not, it's hard to look at life that way.
The OM represented a new life, a new adventure, new challenges, new everything and she wants some excitement in her life and unfortunately with the way you act, you don't offer her that much excitement: use the night of going out to dinner and watching that show as an example: you said it yourself, nothing to talk about, she never laughed, very quiet, etc. Sounds like someone who is so bored with their current life that they are slowly dying inside because of it.
