Do you really know the difference between an MLCer and a WAS? Because I do.
A WAS walks. NO looking back, no regrets, no continued contact. They have a PLAN.
An MLCer does none of those things. It may not happen over night, but they do talk, they do express regret, anger, frustration, sadness, and many other things.
Yes these behaviors can manifest at all ages. Which is why many of us here talk about life transition versus midlife crisis.
But that is up to you and your perception.
I have not chosen to stand for my marriage any longer, but I still do not doubt that my H is in MLC, that he is still as confused as he was a few years ago. Just yesterday I experienced more of that confusion with him.
If you feel that MLC is nothing more than an excuse, an excuse for a WAS’s bad behavior, and an excuse for the LBS to stand, to get stronger, to heal and to grow, then what are you doing here?
We are not here to try to talk people into one thing or another on this forum. This place is for support. For support to heal, grow, and make healthy decisions instead of choices from a place of negativity, anger and bitterness.
