HBH. I wouldn't bring up MC again. It will do no good as long as OM is in the picture anyway; I know this from experience. My W seemed to think she was validated by IC too. However, I think a lot of it is that they only hear what they want to hear (or only say what they want to say). Has your W been diagnosed with anything in the past? You said "borderline" in your first post, but I assumed you did not mean that in the clinical sense.
