Can MLC last a short time?

[AntoniaB]

My XH said his lasted a year, so that when he chose the direction of OW he proclaimed it "over." LOL. To my understanding a MLC doesn't "end" when they make the decision to end their marriage and go off with someone else...it's only the beginning.

What makes you think it's over, just rational behavior? If so I agree with Cadet, it sounds like touch and go, because you really need to see a long-term pattern of "normal" and the remorse and owning what they did for it to truly be over.
