Hi Soco, smile

For the variety you're asking for; how about "My feelings have changed for you"?
or "Can we just be friends"?

I got both of those statements in my face.

Or in the case of OW.."She's just a friend, nothing going on."
A lie, that one. Deserves a double whack! I heard that one from someone else who was going through when I did.

"Why are you treating me this way?" This is after the changes occur in the LBS and the WAS is confused. That's me, too.

Or even "I want out but don't know how to do it." In other words, will you help me file for a divorce and do all the work so I can blame YOU? Heard in several different places over the years. smile

LOL, I don't know about that last one.

Or let's see "I've been unhappy all these years." It doesn't matter what you do to try and "fix" it..they only pick another reason out of the grab bag...and it actually makes sense to them.
More lies. I'd heard this one, too.

And you know, I remember wishing I knew what "School" was teaching this garbage...they must all have been using the same instructor...I remember thinking it was so eerie to hear the SAME statements with very little variation.


Remember, as each person is different, every MLC/Transition is different..what works for one may not work for another. Most of the time it is trial and error for ALL involved.
