I am wondering if anyone can shed some light as to how far out the MLC before things start falling apart and things like "I love you but I'm not IN love with you" start.

I remember seeing the beginning of change occurring in my w shortly after our 9-year old daughter was born. Looking back, I feel like I had been trying to make changes to satisfy her, but nothing was never good enough. I'd improve on one area, and she'd escalate to another. I hope I'm making sense because it's tough to describe.

The recent economic crisis is what pushed her over, but she'll insist "we've been drifting apart for years" ... and "I've been unhappy for a long time."

I know we can drive ourselves crazy trying to make sense of it all. But any little bit helps.
