My WAH appears very clear headed and confident at work and when talking to his family about the OW being his soulmate when things are going well..he's practiced at acting like nothing is wrong and showing confidence in his choices. It goes back to when he suddenly had to take on adult roles and be strong for his siblings when he was 16. (He had to appear confident to them even though he hadn't a clue how to be a parent to them.) But when things aren't going so great the mask cracks and his sister has told me she doesn't even recognize the man he shows her then. I haven't seen the cracked mask version of him... heard it on the phone, but never to my face. Always the confident smooth talker appears face to face.
