It seems to me that I went thru a mid life crisis of sorts prior to my affair. I was dissatisfied with my weight, looks, getting older, attention from females and my oldest daughter is heading off to college next month. I was trying to come to grips with losing her as she begins a new life for herself. I've dreaded that moment since she hit 1st grade and now it's here.
Other W stroked my ego to top it all off.
My MLC ended after my affair was broke off and the grieving process was ended. It lasted maybe 4 months.
My W then became a walk away and seems to have hit her own MLC, buying new clothes, hairdo, make-up, nails, and hitting the dating scene.
Now, as an LBS and soon to be single, I am looking like a MLCer again - taking care of my looks, working out, new clothes, want to learn guitar, etc.
Just struck by the irony of it all. Maybe it all boils down to preparing to be single again.
