In my case my H moved in with ow 2 weeks and 2 days after he re-met at her father's funeral home viewing. He had dated her in high school 40 years ago.
Exposure would have done nothing because it was already out there plain for the world to see. He left us and moved in with her and he didn't care who knew it.
When I found this site I came straight to the MLC section because I had determined during my research that that was what my H was going through. It was the only thing that explained his irrational behavior which was so opposite of who he had always been.
When I had heard the phrase that he was aboard the mothership, it fit perfectly.
There's definitely something that happens, physiologically, to people when they become involved with someone else. Just Google "love lust infatuation brain PEA addiction" (or some combination thereof) sometime, and do some reading on PEAs and how incredibly and powerfully ADDICTIVE their high is. The PEA-flushed brain even LOOKS DIFFERENT ON CAT SCANS!
There are chemical/physiological reasons behind all of the "fog" and "alien" and such we all observe and write about on these forums.
