A MLC has to play out, usually a physical affair happens. The more it plays out the more reality hits for the MLer. They start out in pure fantasy land. It slowly slowly begins to change to reality. They fight it though. Some win the fight and never see things right. Others just hit bottom and come out of the fog.
Who knows how this will play out for your wife. You could come up with 1,000,000 scenarios and it would not be what would happen. They are so unpredictable and irrational. She thinks this will make her happy, it will not.
