Hi Cadet! It's great to be off moderation. Great question. I have indeed recd great advice but, like you said, didn't fully take it. Although I might have severely hurt my chances of ever getting another shot by not fully implementing it yet, I am doing it now.

No more texting except for required stuff about our girls. I always figured she enjoyed my keeping in touch with her but recently she sent me a text after a disagreement where she replied, "now don't go getting weird by stopping communication with me again". Wow, I guess NC/LC really does have an affect.

Mr. Bond, My ex absolutely had/ is having a MLC. She was a bored stay-at-home housewife who was 39, almost 40 & wanted the excitement of sneaking around and feeling admired. She was a former actress who loved to be the center of attention & she is most definitely a narcissist. She went from guy to guy after the D and even had liposuction & hair removal (very unlike her). She is out of work but still spends money like crazy (I'm talking $5K/ mo).
