WAW Staying Positive Is Positively Painful

[MrBond]

There are triggers when it's an MLC. Death of a loved one. Fear of getting old. Life change (empty nest, loss of job, etc.)

It's the time where they think they messed up their lives and want to correct all of their lost opportunities.

Your W just sounds like she found another guy, fell in love with him and left.

Don't know why you think the OM leaving is a bad thing. It shouldn't affect you at all since you've moved on.
