I know for a fact that my wife has issues from childhood that she is now dealing with, and I realize that I didn't cause them and can't fix "em. But do all people in MLC have unresolved issues? Either way, isn't there other issues driving the crises? The feeling of being unfulfilled, searching for something more, time running out? One doesn't need unresolved childhood issues to go into a crises over this.

Had she (and I) had more fulfillment in our life’s, maybe there would not be so many regrets, so much thoughts of years being wasted.

Thank you for your thoughts on the best course of action for my situation. I couldn't agree more, and have been proceeding in the manner which you have laid out.


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
