HRM, I remember very little from my MLC but a tidbit to back up what AJM said about the dance steps.
I was at a basketball game with my now EX-W in the middle of the MLC. Some gentleman said after speaking with my wife at the time said to me what a beautiful, smart lady you have there.
I was thinking she is the biggest POS, and the cause of all my troubles, thinking you can have her and I will be on easy street. That night laying in bed I thought why can't they see how she really is. They have no idea. Then 20 seconds later maybe there is something wrong with me. Then a minute later back to the she is the casue of all my problems and the anger had taken over again. The flips would happen once in a while but overall just a total mess.
Don't get to wrapped up yet with where he is right now. It takes some time to come out of the MLC mess. All I can say is when /if that time comes you will know.
