Tad? Why are you in the dumps amigo? Weren't you, just the other day, saying you wanted her to display the mlc characteristics? Or at least act batty?
You got what you wanted in this case. She is demonstrating her emotional instability and inability to shoulder her own responsibility. In some ways, aren't you doing the same?
Think about it for a second Tad. Not too long, because it really doesn't take that much thought in this case.
She is about to do something she "knows" you don't deserve (somewhere deep inside). She was on the other end of being married for the same amount of time.
Wouldn't you expect that would have an effect on her? I would. She feels like she has to do this to "be happy" whatever that really means. Just because she is likely incorrect, won't stop her from believing it.
To find her bolstering herself by blaming you seems in perfect character.
Wouldn't you?
The question is, what are you going to do about it?
My suggestion? 1) Stop wishing for things you don't want 2) See the craziness of it. The emotional blender that is spewing garbage all over you 3) Embrace it for 5 minutes and then put it in the toilet where it belongs.
It is a point in time Tad. It is not the definitive moment at that. It was expected and it is going to happen again. It'll get worse as you distance yourself. It'll get worse before it gets better. It won't start getting better until you distance more and more.
