I had a thought this morning and wonder if anyone has an opinion on it...Do you think that our spouses somehow pick us as partners(perhaps subconsciously) b/c they know that somehow we're more stable or less broken and that will allow them to go into MLC and be removed from their responsibilities, so to speak, b/c we will be there to carry on and take care of the family?
I'm sure there are families where both spouses go off the deep end..but it seems to me that those of us posting on this forum have kept things running while H or W has run off into the MLC tunnel...just wondering...
I have wondered the same thing. I have a live in MLCer and I think that he is content with doing his own thing and letting me handle absolutely everything with the kids, the house, etc. because I can and I am. He seems to be waking up a bit and helping out with the kids more but otherwise takes pretty much zero responsibility. And it is always on his terms. And to think before his MLC I didn't consider myself the stable one . . .
