You do get to a point where you don't want to talk anymore. I did anyway. But by then H was in his own MLC world anyway. Something I've learned through this though, as my H is still here and I have done some boundary setting, is that I was not as clear, as specific, as "hearable" as I could have been.
And yes, sometimes you really can't even define it until you meet someone else who makes you FEEL differently than you do. So take what I said, throw in a childhood that can bring on MLC, and you have the makings of a mess.
It is all in the approach. Jack, yes I think it would work out beautifully. Too bad we can't all be so clear.
