Yes, I think I am looking at a bit of MLC also. We have stopped having kids, the OB says she is starting into the peri-menopause phase of life, she is searching for an identity beyond that of mother and wife(which I have enthusistically supported from day one). There is just a lot going on with her and it is producing much suffering and unhappiness in her.

You know, I used to blame it on myself. I(or she) would say(nievely, arrogantly, or foolishly), if I only did this or if I only did that, then she would be happy. It just don't work that way. This has been a tough leason for me.
