Isn't it scary how similar the patterns of our WAS/WAW's are? You think that everyone is "unique", but in the end we're all "the same" in one way or another.
I first the "Midlife for Dummies" a few days ago and I am still reading it over and over. Maybe seeing all of this and how "normal" the behavior is is the reason for my inclination to shrug the little positive signs of H (Don't get me wrong, I do recognize the little things, but I know not to get my hopes up). I'm actually surprised that I've been feeling this way for the third straight day!!! Usually my emotions go through shorter up's and down's. So I guess maybe I'm waiting for the shoe to drop, for H to go back to his MLC self.
Rick, you certainly make a good point about not listening to the good or bad. We shouldn't completely ignore the positives, and we need them to give us hope to keep going. Your wife's reaction in the movie is interesting. She seems to be able to relate to that sentence...something that most MLC's who are in the midst of it would never be able to agree on. Of course, I'm not expert on MLC or any of this really, so these are just my 2 cents. I think after all of this is set and done, I will never get on another roller coaster again!
