I'm sorry about the length of this. I'm trying to keep the important stuff in here while editing out meaningless fluff. There's a lot that's happened as this has been going on for some time. What I'm trying to make sure of is that I get both of our behavioral ticks into the proper context of what has happened, as I don't feel this is all one person's fault by any stretch.
I'm certainly leaning towards an MLC as to what my wife is experiencing - for reasons I've yet gotten to in the story. However, at the current point in the timeline, I had no clue what an MLC was. I don't recall my mother going thru ANY phase like this, and my older sister was always a little unhinged...
Two days earlier, she had told a customer, in front of me, how communication and trust in a M are very important and that there’s nothing on her phone she wouldn’t be ashamed to let me she. I went back home and woke W up and asked her to see her phone. She resisted, and I reminded her of her talk with her customer and she got mad. I told her to get mad, happy or whatever she wanted, but, if she really meant what she told her customer, she wouldn’t even question letting me see her phone. She still resisted, at which time I told her that I had already seen the messages, and she turned white as a ghost. I told her she needed to get up and go to her restaurant since I had work to do around the house and she didn’t need to be there…
Later that day, FF’s W called me to tell me what happened with her – FF claimed it was nothing and they were trying to set me up. Which had the added effect of making FF’s W even more angry at him since she thought it was a childish thing to do. I went to W’s restaurant during a slow period, and asked her to talk for a minute. I told her about what FF’s W said and she looked completely stunned and said absolutely not, there was never a set up. I told her I hoped not, since the person she actually caught was D#2, since she’s the one who told me about the text messages. I said trapping an already emotionally unstable person is not hard, but, it IS reprehensible. She again denied any set up. She’s not a great actor or liar, so I did tend to believe her – but not completely. I didn’t talk to W at all that night when she came home; I just acted like I was asleep on the couch.
Back story – D#2 was involved in a head on car accident in July of 2011, in which she suffered a fractured ankle, several spinal fracture and a brain bleed (two cases of TBI in the family in two years). She then hit a tree in March of 2012 driving down a muddy road right after a heavy rain storm. She has mostly recovered from these, but, during the time all of this was going on, she was a basket case.
