Your emotions are still very much tied to hers, and she pushes that button on you to get you to feel just as crappy as she does..
Does she feel crappy though? She's telling me and everyone how happy she is.
Most will tell you through experience, that an MLCer will wear a public mask to disguise the hurt that they feel inwardly.
I will go back to the analogy of telling an alcoholic that they are, and then listen to them deny it, the top of their lungs that they are not.
Most people that I have talked to , and everything that I have learned, tells me that even though they declare happiness outwardly, they are quite miserable inside.
One thing to back my theory is that my Ex said the same things to me, and I believed that for a while, right up 'til an email between her and my sister ( declaring how miserable she was) fell into my lap one day....
I had a conversation, with a recovering MLCer one night, and one of the things she told me, was that she HAD to go out and put on that "happy" face , because staying at home with her own devices, was NOT an option.....
