Great stuff! I really relate to Bills' great summary. I've wondered about why MLC seems in so many ways universal(same script, similar behavior changes/mental changes in our spouses, clothing choices) and yet is such a unique journey for each.

I think its real. I think its a psychological phenomenon too broad to pinpoint with our current method of psych diagnosis.

I think conventional therapy and conventional marriage counselng is hard to reconcile with MLC, and doesn't necessarily help the marriage or the MLCer, but perhaps does help the LBS. At least in my situation.

J3B- I think electroshock therapy, although seemingly archaic, actually can help some people come out of severe depression. Much more controlled use now-a-days...
