You may have more real experience at it than me, I only can go by what I have read. I am basically just repeating that. Some pretty experienced MLC LBS'ers have told me this, so I would take it as true. J3B would be one of them. The first time I read the 6 stages and posted on my thread that my W was in depression he let me know I could be wrong. I think most people that start posting here have there spouses in replay, so thats not unusual. I guess the ones that have multiple OP's are repeating,anger,replay,depression,and withdrawl over and over.
