I am moved to start a discussion on how the LBS cycles. There has been some healthy thought provoking discussion on my thread however as I read other threads I see other LBS’s going through these cycles also.

I know I personally have gone from feeling like I was “done” 5 to 6 weeks ago to a feeling of still being very much “in love” with my W a couple of weeks ago and I would say today I am somewhere in between.

I read other’s threads and it seems as I start to see that some of us have hit the 1 year mark or are approaching it we start to experience feelings that vacillate between anger/sadness/love/happiness. I even see that there are posters that have been around for even longer and still experience this cycling as they interact with their MLC spouse or X spouse as the case may be.

Is the cycling a symptom of being “stuck” ?

As we cycle are the feelings the same as find ourselves moving back to a place where we have been before? Do the feelings have the same intensity?

Is the cycling an indication that we need to “look” a little deeper at ourselves or maybe we have not been honest with ourselves?

How often do you cycle? Is there an external trigger that moves you between feelings?

I am just throwing this out there for anyone to share what they are experiencing or give their 2 cents.

Cheers
