I originally thought my W was a WAW but after I put her out of the house she went went absolutely crazy. I knew then that it was something else and after looking back on events before the bomb I realized the MLC started 2 years prior, shortly after her 20 yr High School reunion.
She saw her first "true love" boyfriend and that is when she started on the long slippery slope down into MLC. He was happily married but still the thoughts of a life with him ran through her head. (She shared this with me early on).
WAW or MLC, I think my approach is the same, which is consistency in how I treat her.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
