"She continues to let everyone know that she is getting divorced and how happy she is. Doesn't seem miserable at all....."

This drive me nuts, too, and I agree with everyone that it is all an act. I read somewhere that when they act the happiest is when they are hurting the most. It's where the denial of the depression fits in.

My W made it a point to tell just about everyone at our kids school Open House last night about the D and smiled from ear to ear when she did. Everyone she told that to gave me a look like she was totally insane. And, she is.

Thanks again everyone. I may have made a mistake tonight. I'm not sure.

I was feeling a little bad about our phone interaction the other day so I sent my W the following text:

M: I'm sorry about the other day on the phone.

W: Why?

M: Just for losing my cool and being an a$$hole. I should have realized that you may not have understood my emails. I just wanted to apologize for it.

W: Ok.

That was it. Nothing more. She lost her cool on the phone as well the other day, but did not apologize. I wasn't expecting one. Was this a wrong thing for me to do? Just curious.

She actually said this to me recently. Said that she didn't want to give me hope, but you never know.



MLC playbook, page 126.....

HER feelings, HER emotions....

Tad, Tad, Tad....

MLCers tend to run on pure emotion, that is why the LBS finds very little that they do, hold any logic to it.

They act from a place where thier feelings and emotions change every few seconds...

Ever see the movie 50 First Dates ?

Ten second Tom ?

Think in similar terms...

That ^^^^ , was what she was feeling at that particular time.

DB101 buddy, believe....How much of what they say ????

LOL. A playbook? LMAO...

Tad, you are getting some very perspective as you crawl all over this. Here's something: later down the road, she likely won't remember much of the detail. Like her mind has amnesia about parts of it.

What she says or does is not indicative of what she really is, Tad. You are operating under the idea that people say what they mean LONG TERM. She is working in seconds. No filter. Her feelings spew out as they occur and they will not make sense to somebody who is paying attention. It is indicative of the turmoil.

What's the cause? Who really knows? Is this her issue? Absolutely Tad. Is this something you can "fix"? Nope. Can you make it take longer? Yep.

Good luck on the job interview!
